Brief Bio:
Raised in the suburban swamps of central Florida by immigrants and mountain folk, Julie studied art and music from a young age. She moved to New York at eighteen; New York in the nineties was a great place to learn filmmaking. Always a bit out of step, she studied painting in Paris while reading biographies of Fellini, then studied dramatic writing in Tuscany while reading A Moveable Feast. Loving both a good excel formula and art history by twenty-five, she was living in Los Angeles working in Hollywood first as a production accountant then as an entrepreneur. A decade later found herself nestled in the hills of the Pacific Northwest testifying before the legislature for a more competitive film industry across the state.
