About Julio Bardini

Julio is a Senior Author for Collider. He studied History and International Relations at university, but found his calling in cultural journalism. When he isn't writing, Julio also teaches English at a nearby school. He has lived in São Paulo most of his life, where he covers CCXP and other big events. Having loved movies, music, and TV from an early age, he prides himself in knowing every minute detail about the things he loves. When he is older, he dreams of owning a movie theater in a small countryside town.

Favorite Media

A typical 90s kid, Julio grew up watching anime and playing video games, but his life changed when his parents took him to watch Star Wars on the big screen for the first time. Now, he loves works that display some faith in humanity, no matter how fantastical or mundane, from The Lord of the Rings to Parks and Recreation. He is also a huge Sofia Coppola buff and considers Lost in Translation his favorite movie.

Industry Experience

Parallel to Collider, Julio also writes for Brazilian website Cinema Com Rapadura since 2017, where he writes news, reviews, and analytic pieces. He has also interviewed talent like Wagner Moura, the cast of The Boys, Eva Longoria, the production team of The Rings of Power, and more.
