Julia Radochia felt she just had to make it as an actress. She grew up in Arlington, Massachusetts where she took theatre classes and acted in every show that would allow her in. (Being a tone-mute singer was limiting in the high school musical world.) After studying history and Italian at Skidmore College and abroad at Syracuse University in Florence (the urge to spend a year in Italy was stronger than majoring in theatre), she returned to her hometown with no idea what to do next, so she kind of didn't do much but get a job and go to dinner and movies with her possessive boyfriend.Missing acting, she ditched the boyfriend and returned to theatre. She got her first paying gig playing an young Marilyn Monroe in a murder mystery comedy. (Ok it was dinner theater but she did receive rave reviews for her performance.) She added more theatre productions to her resume while landing roles in smaller independent films.Of course, all those small (but fabulous) productions weren't bringing much money home so Julia financed her acting pursuits as a software QA tester -- it was more fun than waiting tables and paid better. She then took her acting resume and savings to New York to go and "make it".After a couple of years of doing several short films for NY film schools (commercial work didn't take off -- she had a knack for coming in second several times, though), she ventured to LA and played around there for a while when she felt the urge to write a screenplay. Seeing how affordable Los Angeles City College was, she decided to take some classes that she felt would help her write her script. In order to get to the screenwriting class, though, she had to take several introductory film making course first. One of these first semester courses had students making films on 8mm.It all clicked after making her first film. Now *this* was truly exciting and fun and soul-satisfying. Julia tossed aside her original script goal as well as that desperate-passion-for-acting thing and plunged into the entire cinema program and was one of two women picked by her professors to earn a scholarship from Women in Film.Julia has written, directed and edited (and produced) several short films. She eventually moved back to Arlington with her now husband to start a family. Their two daughters were born in 2009 and 2015.Film-making has slowed down in recent years but the ideas haven't. Julia has written some scripts (a couple of short screenplays were finalists in a few film festival competitions) and, as of 2020, is lurking behind the shadows in the entertainment world.Julia is the sister of Stephen Radochia
