Duru Yücel is a Turkish actress best known for starring in the apocalyptic feature film We Put the World to Sleep. At the age of 10, she studied acting at Bornova Municipality’s Theater for a year, which led to her first appearance on stage. From that moment on, she came to know very clearly that she wanted to be an actress. Duru chose to study English-Turkish Interpretation and Translation in college but her passion for acting never stopped haunting her, so she continued her education with three years of acting classes at The Studio Players in Istanbul, where she performed multiple times with the ensemble of The Studio Players. She also acted in various TV series, commercials, a short movie which traveled to Cannes, and worked with international film festivals hosting esteemed guests such as Golden Globes President Lorenzo Soria. Duru Yücel’s most recent cinematic venture is We Put the World to Sleep, an international coproduction she stars in and also produced. Directed by Adrian Țofei, the movie is their most ambitious project to date. Duru adores jazz and has a demo album of ten classical jazz songs which received good feedback from the music industry. Swimming, yoga, traveling, spending time in nature, learning about the ways of the world and the causes she might have the privilege to support, the topics of literature, painting, architecture, health, psychology, spirituality, science and history are also among her interests.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
