Julie Angel is a British filmmaker, artist, academic and writer. After finding Parkour, Julie became interested in the idea of movement and free-running, making it the focus of her PhD and setting up the movement group See&Do.
Lets know her story more closely as she catches up with Namita Nayyar, President Women Fitness.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You are an independent filmmaker who likes documenting the current ‘age of athleticism ‘ – Parkour, MovNat, buildering and much more. Share with us your spectacular journey in the world of film-making and how it all began.
Ms. Julie Angel:
Ever since I can remember I’ve always felt drawn towards images and sounds in some shape or form, whether it was watching films, listening to music or looking at the work of different artists and photographers. In parallel to this I loved learning about other people’s stories. There was never a clear plan, just a series of decisions of moving towards something that combined these passions. In hindsight it looks obvious that it’s possible to merge this into a career but at the time it just felt like following my heart. I went to art college in Plymouth in the South West of England and then carried on making films when I left, working on self-initiated projects as well as commercial ones.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You are an author, writer, filmmaker, photographer, academic, artist and parkour coach. How do you manage such a remarkable, multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Ms. Julie Angel:
What links all of the above is a growth mindset, love of learning, an interest in people and self-improvement, and loving what I do. Sometimes my projects are more of a creative exploration into shapes and colors through my more artistic endeavors, and others are about ways to communicate meaning using either images or text. Meaning is always more important than the aesthetic in anything I do. The academic work is the same, exploring ideas and finding ways to understand and apply them. Movement, self-reflection and improvement is a common theme in all of the above – strong body, strong mind.
