Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine?
Ms. Julie Angel:
It’s all a mixed bag depending on where I’m living and what my projects are. On average I spend 2 hours a day walking with my dog which is very relaxing and good thinking time too. This may sound like a lot but it’s when I form ideas and I also enjoy being outside in nature. I then train 6 or 7 days a week on top of the daily walking. Recently it’s been a mixture of power lifting, gymnastic rings, swimming, MovNat and Parkour. I also work on the floor when I’m using the laptop which means I’m constantly doing hip mobility drills instead of sitting on a chair or even using a standing desk.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Julie Angel:
I was a vegetarian for 20 years. Over the past 4 years, I cut out grains, re-introduced fish and then finally meat. I feel fantastic for it. I eat a lot fat, protein and veggies. I love food and think it’s important for everyone to work out what works well for them. I’m not strict and try to be relaxed and adaptable to what is available, especially when travelling and being hosted by other people. I enjoy food and appreciate good quality food. It makes a difference to how I feel and think.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you have some advice and motivational words for our inspiring and budding independent filmmakers who all are your fans? What should they do for their climb to the ladder of success in field of film-making?
Ms. Julie Angel:
Filmmaking is a skill like any other, whether it’s weightlifting or learning how to climb. You only get better at making films by making films. The important thing is to be very reflective and try to deconstruct your own content. Be your own harshest critic. Also, have a wide set of influences from the creative industries as a whole, not just film. You need to be brave enough to make the kind of films that you want to make rather than trying to make the same kind of thing that everyone else is creating to show that you are ‘good enough’. Be original and be brave.
