Julien Klein

Founder, monExpansion & Optimage Studio

15 years in VFX. Started as an artist, ended up managing 150+ people at RodeoFX, then Scanline/Netflix. Somewhere in between, I burned out and figured out why creative teams implode. Now I help them not do that.

I host Transmission, a podcast featuring Quebec's creative entrepreneurs at La Piscine. I also make videos on YouTube about creative leadership and going solo (24k subs, working toward 100k).

On the studio side, Optimage produces employer branding films for VFX and games companies. Basically: I help studios show who they really are so they attract people who actually fit.

Based in Montreal. Always down to chat about the industry, career pivots, or why your show is behind schedule again.
