ABOUT JULIUS
My passion for movies began at the tender age of five but it wasn’t until the age of sixteen that I first attempted to write, direct and produce a short film. It hen took a short break from film to earn an honors degree in Communication and Technology at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication. Upon graduating I immediately went back to doing what I love. I wrote and directed three short films and a low budget feature film, earning eighteen nominations and winning four awards at various film festivals throughout Europe and America.
After achieving much success, I decided to continue to pursue my passion and went to film school. I was chosen to receive a scholarship from Toledo Productions and graduated from the National Film and Television School in 2010. Whilst in film school, I continued to make short films that played at international festivals earning various nominations and awards.
I like to tell stories that are entertaining, bold, thought provoking,
challenging and create topics that inspire debate. This is my motivation and why making films is my passion.
