JULIANNE REYNOLDS | Film Director · Photojournalist · Visionary Storyteller

Julianne Reynolds is an internationally acclaimed documentary film director, sacred arts photographer, and visionary storyteller whose body of work bridges cinema, spirituality, and the awakening of the Divine Feminine. As the founder of Romanski Films, she has spent over two decades directing and photographing stories that illuminate the sacred dimensions of human experience — from the temples of India and the villages of Africa to the inner landscapes of healing, devotion, and transformation.

A former yoga and tantric studies practitioner turned filmmaker, Julianne’s path has always been one of devotion and embodiment. Her films explore the relationship between image and energy — between what is seen and what is felt. Celebrated for their poetic cinematography and emotional depth, her works dissolve the line between art and awakening, translating invisible spiritual realities into cinematic language that evokes remembrance.

Julianne’s storytelling arises from her belief that film is not only a medium of documentation, but a vessel for initiation. Her upcoming feature documentary, Whispers Through Time, chronicles the lives of spiritual elders and mystics who shaped the modern consciousness movement, weaving unseen stories of devotion, feminine wisdom, and the soul’s call to awaken in a pre-digital era. She is also developing The Sacred Return: Cancer, Soul, and the Art of Living — a deeply personal offering exploring healing and rebirth through the feminine lens, inspired by her own initiation through breast cancer and transformation into a vessel of light.

As a sacred portrait photographer, Julianne is internationally recognized for her Transmission of Light series, where she captures leaders, healers, and visionaries in moments of soul revelation — merging fine art with energetic transmission. Her portraits, often described as visual prayers, are portals of remembrance — embodying the union of human and divine essence.

Through both film and photography, Julianne’s creative method is rooted in trust, empathy, and deep observation. She approaches each story as both participant and witness, allowing presence to guide the image. Her work has been exhibited in galleries, museums, and spiritual centers across the world, and continues to inspire a generation of women artists and storytellers who view the creative process as an act of service and spiritual revolution.

As a visionary changemaker in the new art of filmmaking, Julianne embodies a movement toward conscious creation — one where the feminine leads through intuition, truth, and light. Through Romanski Films, she mentors emerging women filmmakers and visionaries to birth projects rooted in authenticity, beauty, and higher purpose.

Julianne Reynolds stands among a new wave of female directors shaping the evolution of spiritual cinema — a filmmaker whose lens is both mirror and messenger, transmitting light through the stories of humanity’s awakening.
