Julien Christian Lutz, known as Director X, is an acclaimed Canadian music video director, renowned for his collaborations with Drake, Rihanna, and Kendrick Lamar. Transitioning to filmmaking, he debuted with the Sony studio feature 'Superfly' produced by Joel Silver.

He was born and raised near Toronto, Ontario, and is of Trinidadian and Swiss descent.
