Directing
Short Film
Most recently Julian yearned to flex his creative muscles, and in 2021 he wrote, directed and edited his own short film “Raspberry,” a powerful, and touching story about the death of his father. The film was chosen to premiere at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for a Grand Jury Prize. “Raspberry” has gone on to screen at over 20 other festivals around the world and was awarded Best Narrative Short Film at this year’s El Paso Film Festival.
If that wasn’t enough, “Raspberry” was just picked up by a major US streaming company, and will be included in a compilation of outstanding short films to be released this winter or early 2022.
