Kemp worked freelance in film from 1988-1990. He has made a number of music videos and saw them as a springboard to full-length films. His first feature film, Veggfóður: Erótísk ástarsaga (engineering Wallpaper: An Erotic Love Story) dealt with music, words, and the lives of young people in Reykjavík in the 90s.
Júlíus Kemp"s last film, Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre, is a horror comedy, and was released in cinemas in Iceland in September 2009.
The film followed a group of whale watchers, who are picked up by a whaling boat. The film is described as a mix of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Blair Witch Project, mixed with the darkness and gruesome humour of The Evil Dead.
