Julia Jones is a crazy little redhead, martial artist, and wannabe superhero who always knew her future was in telling darkly comedic and sometimes uncomfortably violent tales. Her spirit animal is the fox and she watches far too much anime. Her directorial debut short film, BUCKETS, premiered at Tribeca and was picked up by Amazon Prime.
Additional Project Info
"The Beast of America" blends the raw intensity of underground martial arts with the vibrant, larger-than-life visual language of anime. This film is a high-octane journey of self-discovery, wrapped in a powerful narrative that challenges gender norms and celebrates unyielding determination. Expect a story that is as emotionally resonant as it is visually stunning, with characters who are complex, passionate, and unafraid to defy expectations.
