Julia Begeron - email - IMDb - Website
I’m a UCLA graduate (MPTV), writer, director, producer and movie-lover. Some of my absolute favorite films are “Bridesmaids,” “Spy” and “The Heat.” (Hmm, I see a thread.) I’m also the Vice-president of an amazing company PaintScaping.com.(Check it out.) Being the VP basically means I do whatever it takes to get the job done – including writing dozens of projection mapped shows, sewing elf shoes or even creating a “modesty pouch” for a green screened streaker. Truly, no job is too big or too small. ;-) Growing up around the business taught me “there’s no people like show people.” Although in L.A, “everything the traffic will allow” is pretty limiting.

Nathaniel Nauert - email - IMDb
I enjoy all aspects of the filmmaking process, from brainstorming to color-correcting, and I have experience in most roles along the way. Most of my career has been spent writing, directing, shooting, and editing. Of all of these, writing will forever be my favorite. There's no better feeling to me than waking up in the middle of the night with an original idea that just can't wait until morning. And there's no greater satisfaction than seeing that concept, born of a sleepless night, up on the big or small screen for the world to enjoy (or not). I thrive under the intense pressure of a tight deadline, and I love collaborating with others who feel the same way. I can't imagine a better life than that of a filmmaker.
