“Julian is a dream to work with . Always calm and charming in my ear , respected by all and gets the job done !!!”
“I’ve worked with Julian since the start of my TV career, he’s a huge talent in the industry and brings great flare to all he directs, I trust him to bring my visions to the screen. Julian has worked on many episodes produced by my own production company.”
“Julian has directed Question Time for several years and is a sure and calm pair of hands in what is a very high pressure live situation. He’s incredibly creative -overseeing a complete rebrand of the show and bringing new ideas to the programme which have really improved it. And he’s a pleasure to work with .”
"Julian is a joy to work with. We have worked together on debates and special programmes on Ukraine, the NHS, 2024’s US Presidential election - recorded in Pennsylvania. Each time he produced creative solutions. Even better, he has suggested solutions and improvements to things we had not been thinking about. The mark of a great director.”
I had the pleasure of working with Julian at COP28 in Dubai, where we covered the Al Wasl (main stage) performances and talks. He immediately built a strong team spirit with dozens of crew members he’d never worked with before, and his collaboration with the lead creatives on each production was both highly professional and genuinely creative.
Among the many productions that stand out from that week were a massive fashion show, a specially commissioned piano recital, and a live art installation. With little to no rehearsal time, Julian delivered results that were nothing short of stunning — all while showcasing his diverse range of talents and even vision mixing at the same time.
Julian is a highly creative, collaborative director who brings a rare sense of calm to the control room. It’s always a pleasure to work alongside someone who can command a live production with such composure in an otherwise hectic environment.
