Born and raised in Anaheim, California, Julie Sifuentes Etheridge graduated Summa Cum Laude from California State University, Long Beach with a degree in Communication Studies. She continued her studies at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts where she produced a number of award winning short films including, a Gold Medal Student Academy Award Winner (A Day's Work, 2007) and a film that debuted at the prestigious Cannes Short Film Market (Lucky, 2005). Upon graduating, Julie worked her way through every crew role possible on a number of commercials and feature films. Never losing sight of her true passion, producing – Julie learned the logistics of feature film producing as an assistant to a notable Hollywood Blockbuster Writer / Producer as well as the inner workings of television as an assistant in the literary department at the William Morris Agency before its merger with Endeavor.
Julie comes to La Navaja de Don Juan with a background in independent filmmaking, television, commercials and blockbuster studio films with credits including ABC's television series, "Detroit 1-8-7", Disney's "Oz: The Great and Powerful", a 2013 Cannes Film Festival favorite Jimmy P (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian) and AMC's "Low Winter Sun." Growing up as a first generation Mexican- American, Julie is very excited to contribute to the new wave of Latin American Cinema.
