Julian Rees

Julian, a native of Queens, New York, developed a passion for storytelling through various mediums—acting, skateboarding clips, crafting short films, gaming, and serving as a camp counselor. His love for films of all genres fueled his creativity and ambitions.

He started at LaGuardia High School, honing his acting skills while working at the Museum of the Moving Image. His daily subway rides into Manhattan, with Central Park and Lincoln Center as his vibrant playgrounds, inspired him endlessly. There he would start making short films with friends and classmates.

He has had so many wonderful opportunities at UNCSA as he portrayed Andy Fastow in “Enron” directed by Vivian Farahani. Additionally, he appeared in Carl Forsman’s production of “The Rover” by Aphra Behn as Sancho. Upcoming he will be working on “The Pillowman” as Michal directed by Rob Lutfy.

Julian loves 90’s alternative rock, skateboarding, drawing comics, and thrifting. He hopes to make people laugh and tell stories that deepen our understanding and compassion for one another.
