JULIA PRESCOTT is a writer/director from North Hollywood whose work has criss-crossed between animation and live-action comedy for over a decade. She's the creator of TOWNIES, an "OC in the Old West" comedy series starring Natalie Palamides and Mr. Show's John Ennis. Her episode of The Simpsons "Treehouse of Horror XXXI" was named by Variety as one of the "Top 30 Episodes" of the show's historic run. In 2024, she was nominated for an Annie Award for "Best Writing" on the Nick/Paramount show Rock, Paper, Scissors (to which she lost to Blue Eyed Samurai).

 

In 2024, she became a Fellow in the inaugural cohort of Dan Lin's Rideback RISE, an incubator for mid-career creatives working on commercially-minded TV and film projects. Within RISE, she completed 2 original feature scripts and wrote and directed a short film proof of concept that's currently making the festival rounds.

 

She occasionally can be found in front of the camera -- most recently, she starred in Universal Studio Hollywood's "This is Universal" marketing campaign where she played a childless theme park obsessive also named Julia.
