Team Startefacts

Julia is a news writer at Startefacts, who has been with the team since the inception in 2022. She is a huge fan of everything Damien Chazelle does. And Robert Eggers. And Luca Guadagnino. Well, it’s hard to pick one. Her main areas of interest are offbeat horror, large-scale TV dramas, and 2000s rom-coms. She loves well-thought-out characters who might make you throw the remote at the TV but won't raise any questions about their motivation – yes, Livia Soprano, we're talking about you. Julia's main activity while watching a movie or TV show is crying: at the magnificence of the moment when Théoden screams "Death!", at the opening song in La La Land, at the grand finale of Dark, and at Rust Cohle's monologues in True Detective.
