Julio Barragán
Director. Filmmaker. Storyteller.
"Passion drives me to approach every project as if it were the last one."
I'm a Commercial Film Director with over 10 years of experience, having created pieces that have won awards like Cannes, D&AD, One Show, and El Ojo de Iberoamérica. I bring a unique sensitivity to each story, marked by my characteristic passion for emotion and commitment to the message. I focus on form in service of substance, grounded in human-centered concepts, and I have the skill to maximize resources to achieve each project’s goal.
In recent years, I've worked with major production companies in Bolivia and internationally. I've had the opportunity to direct pieces for well-known brands (Samsung, BCP, Alicorp, Paceña, BNB, Regia) as well as for social projects and passionate startups.
I began working in the visual field at 19 and, after completing a Postgraduate in Film Directing at the University of Chile (following a long journey through various types of productions), I was able, at age 29 in Santiago, to sit in the director’s chair. It was a role that would establish me as Bolivia’s most internationally awarded director.
I started my audiovisual career over 20 years ago, and with great passion, I worked through all roles in production until becoming a director in 2011. My experience in audiovisual production, camera work, assistant directing, post-production, animation, and photography gives me the capability to tackle any production comprehensively.
