Julia Effertz Actress
An award-winning actress and screenwriter, Julia initially trained in Paris, Oxford and London, and is fully trilingual.
Julia can be seen opposite acclaimed Austrian actor Tobias Moretti in international drama "The Net - Prometheus", directed by Emmy-Award winner Andreas Prochaska, as well as in Cannes contender "Blind Spots" , where she plays the lead role of "Donna". "Blind Spots screened at Hof, Palm Springs, and many more prestigious film festivals around the world, and was declared "Besonders wertvoll" by the Deutsche Film- und Medienbewertungsstelle.
A strong, physical performer with a broad range from comedy to drama, Julia has guest-starred in Romy-winning comedy series "Der Lack ist ab" (Amazon Prime), directed by Kai Wiesinger, as well as in beloved German crime series "Soko Wismar" and "Die Spezialisten". Furthermore, Julia has acted opposite internationally acclaimed stars Jürgen Prochnow ("Die Kinder meiner Tochter") and Julie Delpy ("My Zoe").
Julia was a "Best Lead Actress" nominee at the 2011 Off West End Awards London, as well as finalist at the 2016 Marlene Awards at the Snowdance Festival in Landsberg.
As a screenwriter, Julia's scripts have been selected at PÖFF Tallin Black Nights, the Funny Women Awards London; her award-winning short film about mental health "180 km/h leer" screened at numerous festivals world-wide, raising awareness about the taboo topic of depression and burn-out.
When not trying out a new French dessert, Julia loves to hone her Boxing skills as well as dance her heart out, with her ukulele and a nice cup of tea.
