Tavia is an actor, producer, writer, and educator, and the acclaimed narrator of more than 700 full-cast and multi-voice audiobooks for virtually every publisher in the industry. On this episode of the CI podcast, Tavia gives us a glimpse into the life of a prolific audiobook narrator. She talks about how Committed Impulse gave her the courage to fully inhabit her life and step into her voice and power as a producer and writer.
Julia Jansch, an award-winning filmmaker, talks about her films, her exciting independent filmmaking career, and how Committed Impulse gave her the courage to dig deeper in life and with her art.
Julia's Bio:
Julia spends her time trying to unearth and reveal what makes us most human. She is most inspired by the inherent and beautiful imperfections in the human condition. We all have an innate truth desperate to be discovered. And so her films seek to move and inspire audiences to go deep inside their souls. She relishes in the challenge of crafting an enticing STORY, be it fact or fiction, and believes that it is understanding raw character that gets you there.
Julia spent just under a decade working in development at FremantleMedia and RadicalMedia before going independent and telling her own stories. In 2015 she set up Southern Point Pictures and has 3 lauded shorts and an award-winning screenplay under her belt. Julia has a filmmaking diploma from The New York Film Academy, and an MBA and Masters in Global Governance, both from the University of Oxford.
Her film, My Father the Mover, won the Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary Short at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2020 and was acquired by MTV Studios. She is currently packaging her narrative feature, Huberta; and in post on her debut documentary feature, Coming Home.Connect with her on IG: @juliajansch
