Julien's first musical creations were for cinema: short films, documentaries, and commercials. The first commercial success came in 2008 with the comedic Vilaine (film), which began his collaboration with Albert Dupontel on Le Vilain, followed by 9 mois ferme (2013) and Au revoir là-haut (2017, with score nominated for the 43rd César Awards in 2018). He also composed music for Irena Salina's documentary Flow: For Love of Water, which showed at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. In 2009, he began collaborating with film director Éric Bernard on the adventure film 600 kilos d'or pur. In 2011, he worked with director Emmanuelle Millet on the period piece La Brindille. In 2021, he was nominated twice, first for César Award for Best Original Music at the 46th César Awards for Adieu les cons (Bye Bye Morons)^[2] and then for the International Film Music Critics Association Award for Best Original Score for a Comedy Film for Delicieux.^[1]
