Behind a pseudonym that reveals his cinephilia, self-mockery, and multiple artistic facets, Julien infiltrated the advertising world after directing several clips as funny as they were unsettling, earning him a Vimeo Staff Pick (nobody’s perfect). Why on earth make films? Because he's obsessed with strange stories, quirky characters, and that murky territory where humor collides with discomfort. Anything slightly weird, or even completely twisted, holds a peculiar fascination for him. Yet, in rare moments of clarity, he also appreciates classic narratives filled with strong emotions, consistently driven by a compulsive need to explore the absurd depths of human condition.

With his background spanning both fiction and documentary, Julien places storytelling at the heart of his commercial films, constantly striving to push narrative boundaries, delighting in exploring (and occasionally subverting) cinematic genre conventions. Finally, Julien isn’t afraid of planes and is happy to travel anywhere in the world, though he does take full advantage of in-flight movies. And, noteworthy for a Frenchman: his English is surprisingly decent (thanks largely to his Belgian heritage as a linguistic safety net).
