Meet The Author/Aritst
J. LuLu is a writer, artist, and creator focused on building immersive narrative worlds that combine speculative fiction, technology, and philosophy. As the mind behind The Rollback Protocol, Julie has crafted a suspenseful techno-thriller that explores the hidden architecture of reality and the people who dare to rewrite it.
Julie blends graphic storytelling, cinematic world-building, and mythic symbolism to create narratives that feel both futuristic and timeless. Inspired by the idea that reality itself may be programmable, Julie’s work challenges audiences to question the systems beneath everyday life and the consequences of having the courage to change them.

"My artistic background is highlighted by earning my BFA in 2008 and working in the film industry as an illustrator and digital texture and background artist on major motion pictures including Revenge of the Sith, Transformers, Die Hard, and Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.
Also at Lucasfilm, a part of my time there was working with the licensing division on image editing for the Star Wars graphic novels. The demanding, high-precision world of film art gave me a strong foundation in composition, atmosphere, and visual storytelling, skills that now shape my own work as a graphic novelist.
I’m a passionate storyteller who believes graphic novels and animation are the ultimate form of artistic storytelling."
"We actually can't do anything else besides giving our huge, huge compliments for a film like this. Fan-tas-tic!" - Judges' comments from Benelux Film Festival on my film Transcendence.

I have worked as a matte painter and 3d texture painter in the film industry. Painting landscapes that film characters lived in was one of the most enjoyable professional art experiences. I worked at Lucasfilm, the Orphanage, freelance for Sony creating realistic environments and backgrounds. I love building worlds now for my graphic novels.
