MTW 014: Editor Becomes Director - Julian Doan - Raspberry

What’s it like to go from the editor’s chair to directing? Well in today’s episode we’re going to find out.

Today we’re joined by Editor, assistant editor, director and writer Julian Doan. Julian was one of the earliest students to enroll in our flagship course Feature Film Assistant Editor Immersion and since then has gone on to work on amazing projects like Ballers, In Treatment and Wild, Wild Country for HBO.

But most recently Julian yearned to flex his creative muscles and wrote directed and edited his own short film Raspberry, which was chosen to premiere and nominated for a grand jury prize at this year’s Sundance festival and gone on to screen at over 20 others around the country and winning Best Narrative Short Film at this years El Paso Film Festival.

If that wasn’t enough, Raspberry was just picked up by a major US streaming company, and will be included in a compilation of outstanding short films to be released this winter or early 2022.
