Photography/Filmography by Julieta Ramos Correa
Written by Jacqueline Lee
“I realized I'm not into traditional filmmaking,” Julieta Ramos Correa, a cinematic arts student at Flagler College, says. “I like things that you kind of have to stop and figure out what you're looking at.”
Ramos Correa ditches linear, dialogue-driven narratives for short, highly-visual projects with an emphasis on color, atmosphere and emotion.
She describes her work as abstract and experimental, prioritizing imagery over traditional storytelling.
“I like things that are funky,” she said. “You kind of have to scratch your brain to figure out what's happening.”
Ramos Correa, an avid photographer and former yearbook staff member, signed up for Flagler’s film program while it was still in its infancy after discovering her love for videography at the tail-end of high school.
“I came into it when it was only a couple of years old, and it's still growing tremendously,” she said.
She eventually founded the Student Filmmakers Association, which produces film projects each semester and helps younger students develop their portfolios.
Among the projects she has created, one stands above the rest. Her short horror film “Escape,” shot on Super 8-millimeter film for a production class, became a defining moment in her artistic development. During the production process, portions of the film were corrupted while being scanned, leaving sections dark and distorted. Instead of abandoning the project, Ramos Correa incorporated those imperfections into the final cut.
The unexpected result helped her embrace experimentation and discover the style of filmmaking that felt most authentic to her.
“It was the film that made me discover the filmmaker I am today,” she said.
As graduation approaches, Ramos Correa hopes to continue building a career in visual storytelling. While she is considering opportunities in larger creative hubs such as New York or California, she remains open to wherever the industry takes her.
