about — JULYBRUNNER

I’m a documentary-style filmmakeR, explorer of stories and landscapes and above all else, the human heart. I grew up in the mountains, they shaped me and my work, persistant and modest.

In my creative work as a videographer and editor, since 2016, I enjoy creating synergies between story content, visual rhythm and music. Balancing between emotion and information, conflict, beauty and joy! I want to be behind the scenes, see different perspectives, be curious.

My film work is a passport to new direct insights and fascinating stories. It’s a journalistic approach - searching for a new documentary form. Interviews are a key part of my work – I go where I sense emotion and try to ask without asking questions. Playing the game with social roles and one's own identity. Capturing the imagination of the audience and taking them on a journey of discovery. What matters are the people within these stories and their own experience of co-creating, trying to break away from traditional forms of storytelling.

WHAT I do

Creative Concept
Idea. Story. Emotions. Visuals. Language is power.

Digital & Social Content
Developing content that is able to target multiple contact points and traditional media.

Production
Scout, Shoot, Edit. Whether it’s a scientist in the lab, a farmer amidst his chicken or an athlete on a remote glacier – if someone can get there, we can too. I mostly shoot and edit – but my productions unites people from different networks with various craftsmanships – photography, sound-design, illustration – together we tell narratives, ready to be delivered across multiple platforms.

Location
As an allrounder in (mountain) sports, I have experience in shooting in different environments and activities: Skiing, skitouring, alpine and sports-climbing, paragliding, kitesurfing, trailrunning, biking. I’ve been lucky enough to shoot in -30 degrees, on 6000m up high, in remote places and big cities. So that being said - I’m happy to suffer for a good story :)

Equipment
Sony PXW FS7, Sony Cinema Line FX6, Sony Alpha A7Siii, Panasonic Lumix GH5
DJI Mavic Pro 2, DJI Ronin S2 Pro, GoPros, Aquatech Elite II
iMac Pro, Adobe Cloud & Edit on Premiere Pro

Maybe it’s this lacking distance that makes it special, sometimes. What we forget to do - with smartphones and screens: to look closely, listen, inquire, remain open, touch. I love this game – searching closeness, while keeping distance, to find connection.
