Wide-eyed Julián is about to spend the summer with a grandmother he barely knows. He is amazed to discover her treasure-trove apartment, his own Caribbean heritage and the lively Brooklyn community he is surrounded by, but most surprising of all, Julián discovers that he is, in fact, a mermaid!
First-time feature director Louise Bagnall brings a derth of experience to her feature debut--she wrote and directed the 2019 Oscar®-nominated short LATE AFTERNOON and led character design on the 2017 Oscar®-nominated feature THE BREADWINNER. Adapted from Julia Love's JULIÁN IS A MERMAID and with the backing of Ireland's Cartoon Saloon (WOLFWALKERS, SONG OF THE SEA), JULIÁN is a coming-of-age delight sure to please audience members of all ages.
