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 8mm film camera.  His passion and drive for filmmaking continued and in 1982, 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 "A Mother's Testimony" (TV) starring Kate Jackson, a TV movie for the Lifetime network and was the 2nd Unit Director and Cinematographer on a film with Ice Cube called "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 3D feature film, "The Final Destination," 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.
