Director Biography - Julien Eon

In his early years, french born film-maker Julien Eon shows a very strong interest in horror movies, bizarre litterature and urban sub-culture. His artistic career began as a guitar player and singer for various obscure punk and garage bands. He most notably founded the infamous Marshmallow Dykes, with whom he recorded two albums in a garage surf vein. Further to his Paris settlement, Julien Eon becomes more and more interested in cinema. He admires particularly french directors Joël Seria, Leos Carax and american cinematographers John Waters and Sam Raimi. In 1999, Julien shoots his first short film « Moon People », a low budget production shot on super 8. Oddly, this provocative and poetic short film, is selected in many french film festivals and is eventually broadcast on TV channel Canal +. Julien then directs « M le Gardeur », a 52 minutes award winning documentary. As a director, Julien Eon has found his own style where irony and dark humor goes alongside strange and mystical poetry.
