Julian Chojnacki's film career started when he was 9 years old. Growing up in Toronto Canada, Julian began exploring the art of film, using his father's wind up 8 mm film camera.  His passion and drive for filmmaking continued and in 1982, Julian participated in the prestigious International Film Workshop Program in Rockport , Maine.  Here he learned the skill of Steadicam Operating from the inventor and master, Garrett Brown.

Through his 30 years as a Camera/Steadicam Operator, Julian has had the privilege of working closely with many of the industry's most talented and accomplished Directors and Cinematographers.

It is through this experience that Julian was able to 'learn from the best' and develop his own style and vision as a Director.  A well deserved  opportunity to Direct came in 1995 while working on the CBS TV series Nash Bridges, filmed in San Francisco. During his 3 years with Nash Bridges, Julian directed 8 episodes and on occasion, simultaneously Directed and operated the camera.  Since moving to Los Angeles in 2000, Julian has directed episodic TV, "A Mother's Testimony” starring Kate Jackson, a TV movie for the Lifetime network and was the 2nd Unit Director and Cinematographer on a film with Ice Cube(Friday After Next).

He has also written, directed and shot numerous music videos.

As Main operator, Steadicam operator, Technocrane operator and Underwater operator on The Final Destination in 3D, Julian was one of the first in shooting a film in 3D with the ‘run and gun’ style on location. He was instrumental in refining the Cameron/Pace 3D camera set up for Steadicam.
Julian is currently in production as Director for the short film, 'Heartburn' starring Dennis Haysbert and produced by Seymour Productions.

StudentFilmmakers.com is for aspiring filmmakers, and its primary goal is to encourage and support new and independent film and video makers of all ages and levels around the world.

Join us in New York, NY, on Saturday, July 11th for a three-hour Shooting in 3D Workshop with Julian Chojnacki .
