What in East Dallas is Going On?!

Memories and REAL LIFE with Julian Sol Jordan

Camille and Rich Season 5 Episode 22

This week Camille and Rich welcome East Dallas resident Julian Sol Jordan, a 24-year-old filmmaker, cinematographer, editor, and musician whose work blends documentary and narrative styles with a deeply personal touch. His most recent project, REAL LIFE, an experimental documentary created entirely on his own, is filled with scenes and moments from East Dallas, grounding the film in the neighborhood where he lives. The project was highlighted by IndieWire as part of the Future of Filmmaking initiative, recognizing Julian as one of the fresh voices reshaping independent cinema. Beyond film, Julian is also part of the indie music duo Sunrise Academy, whose songs have gained a viral following online. In this conversation, Julian shares how East Dallas inspires his work, what it means to tell stories that are honest and alive, and how film, photography, and music give him a way to capture both memory and the present moment.
