Ep 624: Julia Max

from The Movie Crypt Hosted by ArieScope Pictures

Filmmaker Julia Max (THE SURRENDER) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss the making of her debut feature film. From catching the entertainment bug at a young age growing up in a family of industry professionals… to how growing up around film sets prepared her with invaluable insight on how movies are actually made… to setting her sights on acting before pivoting behind the camera as a writer/director… to making the leap from short films to features and finding the inspiration for THE SURRENDER (available on Shudder this weekend 5/23!) through her own painful loss of a family member… to how she scored the perfect location and absolutely mesmerizing cast for her trauma/horror film… to how she carefully orchestrated how and when to incorporate camera movement over the course of the film… to collaborating with every artist involved in the post-production process and remaining open minded to create the best version of her story… to must-hear advice on why pivoting on your career aspirations can ultimately open a whole new world of personal fulfillment and success… Julia's journey is one that every aspiring artist can draw inspiration from. Also, "Thundanuts" joins the ArieScope family and the group discusses working with actors who are performing vulnerable nude scenes.
