I am currently producing an animated short film titled DRAGONFLY. It’s about the Tokyo Firebombing of March 9-10, 1945 and is inspired by the little known lives of my maternal grandparents. 

I am crowdfunding for the project on Seed & Spark from Oct. 13-Nov. 11, 2020 at www.dragonflyshortfilm.com!

Please check it out and FOLLOW! You can follow the project w/o contributing financially and it’ll still help us out by making us eligible for special perks and services.

I know it’s been a tough year (putting it lightly). I’ve been dealing with unemployment and leaving the city while raising a new baby! So I get that it’s not a great time to be supporting creative projects right now. But I decided that staying creative is one of the few things that keeps me going right now and I would love for you to join me in this project if you can! Thank you!!!

Wow! I really haven’t been on tumblr all of 2020??? There’s a bit to catch up on, but it won’t all happen tonight. In the meantime, last week, a brand new episode of THE AMELIA PROJECT came out that I co-produced and directed! If you think this show can’t outdo itself, well, I really think you’re in for a treat this season. Be sure to get caught up and join us for season 3. And always stick around through the credits to catch the epilogue for each episode. They’re important :)

Happy Sunday! I’m super excited to share this sneak peek of the poster for my animated short film DRAGONFLY created by animation director Maria Marta Linero (see more of her work at www.vimeo.com/rolypoly2d). I don’t have an official website for this film yet, but you can read a little more about it at www.juliamorizawa.com/dragonfly And here’s the logline: A young girl learns of her mother’s survival of the Tokyo Firebombing on March 9-10, 1945 through the eyes of her brother’s spirit.

Watch me do some funny stuff in the short film LAZY SUSAN featured on Short of the Week!!!

Thanks to The BGB Studio (the acting studio where I train) and photographer Ellyn Jameson, I got to take this ridiculously goofy photoshoot. And, yes, all those stuffed animals are mine.

THE AM ARCHIVES is the awesome thriller drama spin-off of "The Bright Sessions" that you didn't know you needed. Or maybe you did. I don't know. But it's coming. Later this year. Get ready.

Thank you so much to the Audio Verse Awards and to the listeners and creators in our #podernfamily! I'm so honored to be a part of this community and look forward to all the fun things to come!

Best Way to Find an Illustrator?

Hello! Does anyone have any recommendations for the best way to find an illustrator. I always see such great artwork here on tumblr, but it appears on my feed randomly. I haven’t figured out the most efficient way to, for example, just search illustrators on tumblr. Is there a way to do this?

And then, are there any other website recommendations for finding artists? I’ve tried Deviant Art in the past, but have never received a response to an inquiry from are artist on that website. Is there like a “professional” equivalent to Deviant Art on which artists are, in fact, looking for work and offering their services and are reliable, etc.?

Thanks in advance!!! Also, if you’re an artist and you’re reading this, please comment or DM me with a link to your work. Thank you!

It's been a minute since I've been to Mats Gymnastics (they got a new floor!). I went to see if I could do an aerial. Then I tried an aerial w/ weapons in hands. Next step: Aerial w/ weapons on grass w/ shoes. You know, because... @pure-theseries shoots in less than 2 weeks!
