Julietta has just returned from the Edinburgh International Film Festival's Talent Lab where she was one of only 35 filmmakers worldwide selected to participate.

At the Talent Lab, Julietta had the opportunity to discuss her work in 1-2-1 meetings with high profile industry insiders; attend industry seminars and take part in a pitching event. There were also some entertaining fringe benefits such as attending the premiere and after-party of Ewan McGregor's latest film PERFECT SENSE (the lovely man took his grandma as his date) and learning traditional Scottish dance at a Ceilidh (where she was literally spun off her feet!).
Here are the 'Industry Dailies' from the Talent Lab:
