JULIEN CHRISTIAN LUTZ PKA DIRECTOR X | Director/TV Producer
Director X appears on our list for the second time. While last year we applauded Director X for his Operation Prefrontal Cortex guided meditation program and spreading awareness about meditation as a way to curb gun violence, this year he created and directed the nationally televised TV series, Robyn Hood, which aired on Global TV. This is a rare accomplishment for a young Black man in Canada. It was also a personal accomplishment for Director X. After years of directing other people’s projects, it was his first time creating and directing one of his own.
As a near-fi superhero show, it was innovative and outside the box, and unlike anything we’d seen on Canadian television before. With the show being the first to feature a predominantly Black cast, he also provided well-needed on screen opportunities for both up and coming and established Black actors.
