Giulia Caruso
Giulia Caruso is an independent film producer and founding member of Nonetheless Productions.
Born in Milan, she discovered her love for filmmaking at an early age and eventually found herself at CalArts earning an MFA in directing.
It was through directing and assistant directing, however, that she discovered her passion for producing.
Since then, she’s been churning out indie hits such as MYRNA THE MONSTER, SPA NIGHT, and COLUMBUS.
In 2018, her and her producing partner Ki Jin Kim, were nominated for the 2018 Piaget Producers Award.
Giulia and I dig in to what i’s like to have 3 different movies premiere at Sundance 3 years in a row.
No easy feat, but timing is everything.
Speaking of…editing this episode this week made me reflect on my own LA journey as yesterday marked 13 years since I set foot in the land of dreams. Despite how bumpy the ride has sometimes felt, I’m proud to say I’m still on the rollercoaster and have only barfed a few times!
Giulia is also an alum of the Sundance Creative Producing Summit, Film Independent Project Involve and the Berlinale Talent Campus.
During out chat, we tackle the beauty and hardships of independent movies, why producers should value themselves, what it’s like to work with your significant other, and how motherhood fuels her passion as a producer.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this week’s episode!
