Profiling Up and Coming Writer-Director - Julian Breece

I worked with Julian on one of my scripts a couple of years ago when he had just finished graduate school and was in the producer's program. I'm happy to see that Julian is well on the road to success. Way to GOOOOOO, Julian. Perhaps we can work on another project again one day in the near future.
