Julia Hapney grew up in a small town in south-eastern Ohio and came to Hollywood, California in 2004 to make movies. She was inspired by Stephen King, Wes Craven, and George Romero to name a few. By the tender age of 10 she was reading Stephen King and had viewed the entire horror section at her local video store. After high school she attended college concentrating on biology and hoping to study sharks, but left early after realizing her true passion was film. She then moved to California and enrolled in film school where she studied directing and screen-writing. While in film school Julia found her niche: make-up. She then attended make-up school and has been working as a make-up artist ever since, doing both high-fashion beauty makeup as well as special make-up effects.
