I am Julián Martínez.

An Nguyen is a filmmaker, film producer, and director whose work explores the quiet intersections between death, beauty, and what it means to be human. Through short-form narratives rooted in the drama genre, their films act as emotional vignettes—introspective, stripped-back, and often lingering in the unspoken spaces between people.

​

A recurring thread in their storytelling is the demise of human life—not for the sake of darkness, but as a mirror to reveal the tenderness, absurdity, and fleeting brilliance of being alive. There’s no performative intention behind their work; filmmaking, for them, is a deeply personal act. It is a way to process the world, to release feeling, and to create meaning without needing to explain it.

​

Their stories don’t shout. They whisper. And in doing so, they invite the viewer into something honest—something that doesn't try to fix or solve, but simply holds space for what’s real.
