Julia Chien is an animator based in Brooklyn who finds bugs fascinating in theory, but terrifying in practice. She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2022 with a BFA in Film/Animation/Video. Julia's films have screened internationally at festivals such as Animafest Zagreb, Animation Block Party, Sweaty Eyeballs, Athens Animfest, Animafantasia, and Ivy Film Festival. She recently performed her first theatrical work as an artist-in-residence with the Object Movement Festival at the Center at West Park. Her films explore the unspoken, the textural, and the gooey.
