Julianna Robinson was born in Reno, Nevada to working class parents who divorced when she was very young. Raised by her single mom who worked multiple jobs to make ends meet, Julianna was determined to be the first person in her family to attend college. She was accepted to UCSB and had intended to be a pre-med student but changed majors at the end of her freshman year when she was accepted to the coveted BFA acting program. In her first year at school, a casting director saw her in a play and cast her in an ill-fated Star Trek spinoff that, while very short lived, allowed her to blow her entire salary on studying Shakespeare in London for a semester. Upon graduation, she moved to Los Angeles, acting in many stage productions in LA’s hard scrabble theater scene and playing the lead in several award-winning independent feature films. It was through this film work that she discovered a fascination for the entire filmmaking process. In 2019, she co-wrote (with her husband) and directed her first short film, “The Party”, which premiered at LA’s Screamfest. Falling in love with filmmaking, she quickly went on to direct seven more shorts films all of which have played at festivals all over the world and garnered awards. She's recently been applying to director shadowing programs and hopes to get into one soon. She has a feature script in development with actor friend Abby Eiland.
There's nothing like a worldwide viral pandemic that shuts down the planet and prevents you from leaving your house coupled with reading the dark and disturbing stories of Edgar Allan Poe in your tight living quarters to ignite an idea of a woman who is pushed to the brink due to the sound of her husband's chewing. My goal was to create a surreal atmosphere of psychological unrest and a world out of balance. Shot entirely with ultra wide angle lenses. This was shot in November 2020.
