Julius was the recipient of the Emerging Australian Filmmaker Award at the 2006 Melbourne International Film Festival and winner of the Australian Directors Guild Award for Best Direction in a Student Film for “End of Town” in 2007. He also won the IF Award for best unproduced screenplay for the feature script “End of Town”, which was a re-imagining of the short.
Set in regional Victoria and using non-actors, “Jerrycan” is about Nathan, a kid who risks everything after he is bullied into making a life and death decision.
“It’s really an amazing endorsement to be accepted into Cannes, especially for “Jerrycan” as it’s probably the most daring investigation into my filmmaking method so far. I wanted it to feel real for the audience and have a raw observed feeling. We cast non-actors from the town we shot in and were really honest in our approach, in both the shooting and editing of the film.” said Avery.

Julius is committed to telling stories that will resonate with a world audience and has three feature film scripts in development.
"End of Town" Coxy wants to get out of his dead-end racist town. When his mother's boyfriend offers him a means to escape he might just succeed but only if he doesn't die trying.
“Roadstory” Diana flees the scene of the accident and ends at a lonely truck stop in the middle of the outback Australia. She soon realizes you can’t escape the past forever. "Roadstory" is based on the award-winning book with the same title by Julienne Van Loon and is currently in development with the Australian Film Commission.
"Henry Vs Chevy" Marc lives on a cattle ranch but dreams of becoming burnout champion of the world. He drives across the country in his hotted up 1970's Chevy muscle car to compete in the world's biggest car festival with one mission... to beat a rival Ford.
