In the first chat from the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh branch for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Julie Sokolow, a Pittsburgh filmmaker, talks with Genevieve about her process, goals and current projects. Being interested in varying subjects, Julie goes into depth how she is able to weave her various passion into her filmmaking, eliminating the need to devote all of her work to one discipline. The discussion also tackles the relationship between artists, audiences, and their role within society.  The best resource to dive into Julie's work is her website at www.juliesokolow.com. There you can find her current and past projects like Healthy Artists and Aspie Seeks Love, as well as her previous endeavors.  This chat was recorded at the wonderful facilities at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh branch for the Blind and Physically Handicapped.
