Kaan Yarkın Yılmaz is a Turkish 3D Animator, modeler and digital artist. He studied at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, where he completed his Bachelor of Media Arts. He normally was into illustration but realized how limitless his story telling could become if he went into the 3D department. His latest short film Ronin is a sci fi that takes place in a futuristic samurai world and depicts the themes of forgiveness, redemption as well as honor.

I have been into films ever since I was an infant. Especially films that put the audience through a personal journey along with the main character. I, as a watcher myself, am driven by personal stories where the protagonist goes through an evolution throughout the story and eventually becomes the best version of themselves. Watching the character evolve just makes me feel more attached to the story and the person. Therefore, I decided to follow a similar journey. The narratives that have driven me are through science fiction and fictional media ranging from movies, comic books and video games that have really influenced my creativity.
