Julie Herlocker

Prior to directing, Julie Herlocker was a Post Producer in episodic television, where she enjoyed working closely with showrunners, spending countless hours in the cutting room with Executive Producers including Mark Gordon, Aaron Sorkin, and Steven Spielberg. She made her episodic directing debut on NBC’s GRIMM. The four short films Julie has directed show her passion for building tension in her storytelling, exemplified in the three-minute-thriller she also wrote and produced: “A Close Call.” A graduate of the DGA’s highly selective DDI Mentorship Program and a director in the Paramount Global Directing Initiative, Herlocker was recently selected for the inaugural 2024 Alliance of Women Directors Rising Director Fellowship for feature film directors. Julie lives in Venice, CA, where she and her husband are finishing up raising their four kids with the help of their Boston Terrier, Yogi.
