Julietta Boscolo is a writer, director, actor, improviser and all round lovely human being who I’m lucky enough to do a sporadic comedy radio show with.

She tells stories that reveal the original in the overlooked and whether it be through the TV shows, commercials or films she’s directed or written, she inspires audiences to make emotional discoveries about the world and themselves.

Julietta’s got awards and accolades coming out of her ears - winning the ‘Emerging Filmmaker Award’ at Melbourne’s International Film Festival for Let's See How Fast This Baby Will Go, an Australian Directors Guild Award for Sam’s Gold; and even having her feature project, The Sound of Light selected as one of only nine international projects, for the Venice International Film Festival’s Biennale College.

Back in January I coaxed Julietta into the studio and starting with the origins of her passion for directing - at school and at home entertaining her 5 siblings; we traced her remarkable life and career all the way up to the present day- where throwing off the shackles of stigma and shame she felt from her impoverished childhood has enabled her to tell powerful and unique stories that resonate with audiences around the World.

Julietta had much wisdom to dispense on a wide range of topics; from work ethic, to collaboration and her creative process, so this is a definite listen for anyone interested in following a creative path of their own. I had a great time chatting to Julietta so I hope there’s something in here for you too. Without further ado, I take you live to Bondi Beach Radio where our conversation was recorded.

You can keep up with her exciting projects on her instagram (@hoolib) and website and if you want to watch something right now; an episode of primetime hit drama, Doctor Doctor (The Heart Guy - US) she recently directed has just aired this week on Australia’s C9!
