Julie Guével Goldstone an award-winning French-American film director and visual storyteller. Her debut short film, The Elevator, premiered at New York Fashion Week and went on to win multiple awards across the international festival circuit, including honors from the Cannes World Film Festival, Paris Play Film Festival, and the Independent Shorts Awards.
Prior to filmmaking, Julie built a celebrated career as a fashion and portrait photographer, with her work appearing in Vogue, The New York Times, and global campaigns for leading brands. Her evolution from still photography to cinema was a natural progression - transforming her refined eye for light, movement, and emotional nuance into narrative form.
Now based in Los Angeles, Julie’s films merge her European sensibility with a distinctly modern visual language. She gravitates toward stories that explore the quiet tension between identity and desire, often capturing beauty in fleeting, unguarded moments. Influenced by European auteurs and the spontaneous intimacy of her children’s camcorder footage, her work reflects a deep fascination with how the ordinary becomes cinematic. Julie is currently working on her debut feature, SALTED.
