@julie_paholio: What, if anything, do you collect? Aside from the obvious (photographs!), I love to collect scarves and bracelets/bangles (preferably from different countries but I also don’t shy away from a good sale at a local boutique or Target!) #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6RMw

@julie_paholio: What advice do you have for other women in the industry? Just do it. Work hard and stand out. Be fearless and unapologetic. Be present to win and don’t be afraid to be different. If you truly believe you’re meant to do what you’re doing then you should work as though that’s your only option— but don’t let the current standard be yours. Be something better— that is, after all, one of the best ways to progress right? Be happy, not perfect. And truly, whole heartedly never stop learning. Never stop growing. Never stop evolving. And always have that camera running. Practice sometimes doesn’t make “perfect” come fast enough, but it for damn sure makes you better than you were yesterday. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6RLc

@julie_paholio: What is a successful moment in your career so far? I would say a successful moment in my career so far would be having one of the films I worked on screen at the DGA Theater (both in Los Angeles and New York) and sharing that experience with my family and loved ones. I was the Cinematographer for Gefilte Fish, a film that has gone on to win numerous awards for Best Short Film in a variety of film festivals and a film I am personally very proud of. It was a great experience working with the creative team behind it and especially with my friend and Director Shayna Cohen. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6RK9

@julie_paholio: What is your biggest concern with the future? That technology will completely change visual storytelling in a way that takes away too much of the art and creative collaboration we have with each other as filmmakers. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6RJi

@julie_paholio: What’s a defining moment in your life? My life is not really defined by one particular moment but rather a collection of moments. I would say it’s every time I’ve overcome a hardship. It’s every time I’ve sweat blood and tears to get the job done. It’s every time I had to fight my fears. Similarly, it’s every time I’ve experienced an abundance of joy, love, or sense of accomplishment (like shooting my first film or getting my Masters!). These moments are what feed my passion to become a stronger, better version of myself. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6RI9

@julie_paholio: Why did you decide to get into this industry? It is both thrilling and terrifying. Every time I have the opportunity to be the Creative behind the camera, I am reminded of why I chose to do this— as a Cinematographer I bring to life what is in my head and for me there is nothing more magical than that. I remember someone sharing a quote with me once that “photography/cinematography is an art of observation. I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” I can’t agree more. We all interpret what we see differently and as a female minority starting out in the industry, I believe that my particular experiences and cultural influences can sometimes offer a different interpretation and sensibility. I love having the opportunity to share that with others and to learn and collaborate together on new ideas in developing projects. I fall in love with visual story telling over and over again with every new project. It’s that same feeling that makes me feel like I’m in line with my purpose. Where I am now is not the end goal but just the beginning. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6RH8

@janawinternitz: If people want to find out more about you, where can they find you on social media? Instagram and Facebook, but personally, I’m more of an, “in-person” person.

@janawinternitz: What, if anything, do you collect? To be honest, I love giving things away! Hmm, experiences—specifically, going outside of my comfort zone. I will admit though, I do have a shoebox full of movie tickets. I’ve probably have had it for 15+ years. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6R81

@janawinternitz: What advice do you have for other women in the industry? Communicate honestly. Nobody gets anywhere from stock answers. Also, support other people and find those who support you. You can’t just take—it’s a give and take. You have to nurture relationships and it all boils down to community at the end of the day. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6QVR

@janawinternitz: What is a successful moment in your career so far? There are little things along the way, but starting my own company was empowering. It laid the groundwork for doing my own projects and having the opportunity to decide what I want to put out into the world. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6QSq
