Please introduce yourself.
Oh, hello Cinema Crazed! My name is Julie Bruns, and I am an actor, director and writer. I’ve been keeping busy with the festival run of my short The Purgamentum, which is an eco-horror short set in the Pacific Northwest. Amy, a marine biologist, starts to hear strange whisperings through the underwater microphones of her remote research station, and calls in Stan, a diver, to investigate what is happening beneath the surface. It’s a dark little tale of retali-ocean.
