Julio has also worked as a fiction content director for free-to-air TV channels and audiovisual producers.
His most prominent work includes feature films like Sábado(Rainer Werner Fassbinder Award), La vida de los peces (2012 Goya winner), and La memoria del agua (selected for Venice Days at the 2016 Venice Film Festival).
