Julien, a Swiss independent filmmaker who has backpacked to more than 30 countries and speaks five languages, is also a Yoga teacher and practitioner living peacefully on the spectacular northwest side of Koh Phangan. His most recent film effort, Through the Eastern Gate, made its Thailand debut at the 2008 PFF.

Julien’s greatest love is for film that reveals the magic and depth of spiritual life and transformation. He hopes that the mystical path of Self-discovery may be unveiled and accessed through films which serve to inspire and lead those everywhere who search for the true meaning of life.
