Julia 秀英 Ngeow is a filmmaker on the rise. An award-winning Australian film writer and director based in New York, who has created films across the globe, driven by a passion to uncover truth and cultivate empathy through storytelling. Creating documentaries, narrative films and commercials, she explores psychology, the physics of reality, with a focus on human vulnerability and interconnectedness. Julia has a background in STEM, graduating from a Bachelor of Biophysics (Neuroscience); and previously worked in cancer research at the Australian Cancer Council and Telethon Kids Institute. Many of Julia’s recent projects revolve around health, wellness and the environment - exploring the intersection between art and science.
In this episode we sit down to hear about Julia's transition from the world of science to the science of filmmaking and how she's cultivated a practice for "dream writing" and now, getting back to the root of storytelling - discovering feeling. We chat about Julia's recent projects: "A Scale for Hurt" a short film which recently premiered online on Filmshortage and will take part in the Andromeda Film Festival 2021, Cift Festival of Toronto 2021 ad the 9th International Video Poetry Film Festival 2021; "Unspoken" - a short documentary she co-directed with Emma Zurcher-Long and Geneva Peschka (insta: @gneva) and was recently accepted into the Slamdance 2021 Unstoppable program, highlighting disabled creators. And lastly, the filmed-in-quarantine "And the People," a film that combined a collection of readings in 10 languages with user-generated content from over 20 countries. Made in collaboration with writer Kitty O’Meara, based on her poem that begins, “And the people stayed home”, creatives around the world collaborated to make a film to celebrate solidarity in the age of isolation.

WE ARE BACK. WHAT HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE GONE?
Greetings from our new studio in LA! That's right. Still NY'ers at heart (its really our home - if you can't tell when Amy's accent slips in) but, this official makes us a bi-coastal team!
In this episode, Amy sits down with two extremely talented and hard working individuals, comedian and actor, GIANMARCO SORESI and actress, writer and producer, LINDSAY-ELIZABETH HAND.

Experience his first (and hopefully last) outdoor comedy special filmed in front of a socially distanced audience. Directed by Emmy Award-winner Andy Buck, produced by Jacklyn Thrapp andLindsay-Elizabeth Hand, the special is available on Amazon Prime and is being lauded, and rightfully so, by critics for how funny it is. 
Gianmarco also stars in the Pink Among Men quarantine comedy series I LOATHE THE QUARAN20's which is available on IGTV, Facebook and YouTube.
