About Julie Ann FayJulie Ann Fay is the creator behind the Cinema Bliss website and Beetlejuice Minute Podcast. This year she is creating her first feature film so stay tuned for that! Details aren't known yet, but it will likely be steeped in dark whimsy inspired by filmmakers such as Tim Burton and Bryan Fuller.
Ms. Fay is also an actress and fell in love with show business at the age of 5 when she held up a picture of a Christmas tree at a ballet performance of Peter Pan. For the next 11 years she studied and performed many theatrical roles with the Lake Charles Civic Ballet Theatre. Julie began her filmmaking career as a screenwriter and produced her first short film "Stickie" with friends who would later become a part of the Lake Area Film Group. She was one of the founding members of the LAFG and Lake Area Film Scribes which helped filmmakers in Southwest Louisiana produce many more short films. Julie Ann Fay also wrote the "Acting Up" column for the Jambalaya News in Lake Charles. More recently, Ms. Fay completed the Beetlejuice Minute podcast spurred by her love for all things Burton and is learning her way around her new home in the Big Peach, Atlanta, Georgia. |
Why Cinema Bliss? |
Hi Cinema Bliss fans! Julie here. I'm sometimes asked what inspired me to start Cinema Bliss. It may seem an unlikely source but it was a combination of news outlets and social media. I felt as if the tragedies in the world were escalating faster than the things that delight our spirit and spur us to share our bliss with others. Now some of what delights me may not delight you and that's okay too. But if you enjoy Cinema Bliss I hope you stick around and sign our guest book. You'll get updates on all the whimsy being created once a month in the Cinema Bliss newsletter.
Fireflies and Magic, Julie |
