So often, it is the culmination of intimate moments and subtle shifts in personhood that shape us into who we are. Julia aims to document the intricacies and vibrancy of everyday life in each piece she touches; whether that be through capturing glimpses of humanity in her commercial work, or exploring both the grit and wonder that comes with life through her narrative films.

Julia’s love for her Persian culture inspires her to create, and pushes her to tell stories from a unique perspective. In 2018, she brought these themes to her short film YASAMIN, which is based on her mother’s story of immigration and was accepted into the 2018 AFI Film Festival. More recently, she's produced a short documentary titled TEAM MERYLAND which was acquired by The New Yorker and PBS POV Docs. Currently, Julia is in the festival circuit with her latest short film, Winter of '79, which is based on her family's stories leaving Iran during the revolution.

Julia hopes to create pieces that remind us to savor those little beauties of life. The small victories.
