Julia Ruiz is an imaginative filmmaker obsessed with the beautiful, messy truth that we all live on wildly different planets right here on Earth! Her mission is to dive into the lives of people all around the world, celebrating how every single day is a completely unique adventure, full of highs, lows, and unexpected twists.Â
Inspired by the exciting world building of films like The Hunger Games, Prometheus, and Twilight, Julia channels that same energy into her own visions. Her last short film, Goodbye Friend, was selected and premiered at the Watsonville Film Festival, showcasing her interest in coming of age stories.
For Julia, filmmaking is a fantastic collaboration—she lives to brainstorm with her team, turning those wild ideas into the best possible version of the story. She is currently pouring her energy into her newest project, The Prodigy, which follows a boxing rising star as he battles the fallout from his first major loss.
