    They were in the trap

    "I was starting to wonder if there was a future for me in VFX. Coaching turned that moment of frustration into a moment of hope."

    Arne Palluck - Director & VFX (commercials and films)

    From the Trap → to their own production company

    "Without coaching, I would have circled around the problems without solving them. I tackled the blockages at the source."

    Pauline Costantini - Lead-Senior Surfacing Artist

    From the Trap → to controlling their own path

    WHO AM I?

    Julien Klein

    15 years in VFX. 120 artists managed at Netflix/Scanline.
    I was the well-paid talent who didn’t dare move.
    I was the promoted leader with no user manual.
    I’ve seen the trap from inside, on both sides.

    Now I help creatives avoid my mistakes and build their own legend.
