A blonde bombshell with a rebel spirit, Julia Haltigan embodies the classic grit and style of the Lower East Side's insurgent nature. Born just off the Bowery and raised on the infamous Ludlow Street, Julia’s style is bold & unremitting. She’s a rare native New Yorker that can be found haunting the streets of a long lost grungy Empire City. Sultry and provocative with a hard edge; Julia’s music draws influences from artists across the board - Nancy Sinatra meets Joan Jett wrapped in a Bridgette Bardot package. Her music shares her experiences through unrelenting love songs full of nostalgic imagery and uncompromising strength. With a firm sense of freedom and female empowerment, her songs take you on a fast ride -  cruising down long winding roads in the heat of July. You can see her heart but it’s wrapped in a barbed wire fence. Julia is thrilled to be collaborating on this project with such an empowered female protagonist.

My name is Kristin; I'm 19 years old and about to be a senior film student at NYIT in manhattan. I'm from New Jersey, but residing in New York City currently. I am a grip in training with the hopes of becoming a director of photography in the next decade. I'm a very high energy person and normally feed off the environments that I am in, which is why I love NYC and working on film sets so much. I love film noir, German films of the 1920's early 30's, and the work of Alfred Hitchcock.
