Julien Lasseur is a photographer and director whose work blends character-driven storytelling with a sharp, human sense of humor. His most recent short film, Somebody Cares, premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, marking a key moment in a body of work defined by emotionally grounded, performance-forward narratives.
Alongside his narrative work, Julien has built a strong commercial and short-form practice, directing comedy-driven campaigns that prioritize performance, tone, and authenticity. His approach brings a narrative sensibility to commercial storytelling, often blurring the line between scripted scenes and lived-in moments. Whether working with professional actors or non-actors, Julien focuses on creating space for natural behavior, humor, and character to emerge on camera.
He is currently developing new narrative projects while continuing to expand his commercial work, applying the same storytelling instincts across formats.
