Our Festival Crew
Julia DuPree
Festival Programmer
Julia is a Philadelphia native with a passion for film, media and social justice. She earned a Master's Degree in Community and Policy Social Work from Temple University and continues to tie storytelling into the work that she does. Professionally, Julia works to support AmeriCorps Programs across Pennsylvania. As a creative, she studies filmmaking with a concentration in screenwriting.
In her free time, Julia can be found on the green trails across the city, studying anthropology on YouTube, or singing (not extremely well) at the top of her lungs—mostly in the comfort of her own home.
