Hi, Julie! I just wanted I say that you are an incredibly huge inspiration to me (with the risk of sounding like the biggest dork right now). Maybe this might turn into a bunch of babble but I remember first watching ‘Before Sunrise’ in my high school’s film appreciation class when I was a 14 year old girl. Around the same time, ‘2 Days in Paris’ came out and I immediately fell in love with it, it changed my life forever. I always thought it was amazing how you wrote the script, wrote most of the music featured, directed, and starred in it. ‘The Countess’ was beautiful and absolutely blew my mind.

I really love the fact that the films you have written and directed are so different from each other but they are all very moving in their own way. Even when things got a bit hectic in my life, your movies and music were there as my comfort blanket. You have influenced me so much and expanded my interest in film, so much so that I’d like to pursue making movies eventually. The things you create are always amazing and you will forever encourage me to think, and open my eyes, and to keep writing and creating. Thank you for making movies that are refreshing and often times relatable. I hope we can see a new movie from you soon!

I guess I don’t actually have a question but just wanted to let you know that I think you’re the coolest person ever.

I can confirm I am not your dad, as seen here holding my copy of "Before Sunrise" on laserdisc! ;)
