My most recent personal project, Birds Talk to Humans All the Time (2024), can be seen below. (4 minutes 32 seconds). I’d prefer if you watched the film first rather than read descriptions/watch interviews about me/the film/my process.

Film synopsis:

A crow attack disrupts director/writer/performer Julia Brown’s ploy for acceptance, revealing to her that the frame she had been living within was not her own.

My name is Julia Brown and I’m a method director, my life is my work, I am my work. I also am a structural filmmaker, to me that means that I’m a director is driven by formal explorations that reveal truth. I want my audience to engage with their own personal interpretation, whilst I actively engage in my own interpretation and become more aware of my experience.

I made many films before now and worked as a cinematographer. This reclamation of self through filmmaking is restorative for me.
