Julius “Ewungwo” Ewungkem Jr. is a Cameroonian-American filmmaker whose work is rooted in the lived experiences, tracing identity and memory through defining moments. His films often begin with questions he cannot resolve, using image, sound, and structure to create spaces where audiences can sit inside that tension.

He first began telling stories through writing, publishing an essay in The New York Times at 18, and has since expanded into filmmaking, creating work that has reached over 500,000 viewers across platforms.

Ewungwo is a 2024 NBCUniversal Original Voices Accelerator Fellow, a 2024 Gotham EDU Film and Media Career Development Fellow, and a graduate of Harvard University, where he studied biology and film. He is currently building AOTA, a creative collective focused on collaborative, emotionally-driven storytelling
