Juliet Rose is a multimedia artist based in St. Andrews, New Brunswick. She uses a unique process to illustrate reflective and authentic documentary films using video, installation, archival media and lights. Her method of gathering media as she builds the final project creates a subject-inspired narrative paired with Juliet’s vision.

Described by her colleagues as a peacock, Juliet’s flair and humour can be found in subtle hints throughout her work. She began to create video work at 6; Juliet feels that film has always been a piece of her. There is no clear line where she began professionally, as she has demonstrated a serious passion and devotion- almost obsession- to creating films and art for well over a decade, putting her professional career start date somewhere between the ages of 13-15. Juliet’s creative and edged outlook on videography and life is the driving force that can visualize any story.

She studied the Intermedia (Video, Electronic & Performance Arts) BFA program and the Art Education program at Concordia University (QC). She was granted by the Canada Council For The Arts and various Municipalities to create her second feature-length film in 2022, The Stage. She worked on Atlantic Spotlight as production manager (2022-) and has created various multimedia pieces and performances throughout her career. Her current whereabouts are 24/7 hands on her multimedia production company, Rose Media Group, where she aims to provide New Brunswick with high-quality, innovative media experiences like no other.

Until recently, my partner, Lauren, and I were living in Ottawa, where I completed a Master of Arts in political science while working for the military and Department of National Defence. In our spare time, we'd often explore and film historic sites in the region, and then life ground to a halt with Covid 19.

With everything on pause, we made a leap of faith, moving to New Brunswick and launching our web series - Blue Lobster Tales - where we film public history documentaries with me focused on directing and Lauren on hosting. New Brunswick has been pivotal in making creative space to foster this new journey, a journey that started in my childhood!

Filmmaking was always a creative outlet for me, having constantly filmed as a kid and travelled, as a teenager, across Canada with my father, filming documentaries about Canadian residential schools (e.g., The Fallen Feather: Indian Industrial Residential Schools and Canadian Confederation, Dr. Mary Thomas: The Mount Ida Project). So, returning to this passion through Blue Lobster Tales, my love for filmmaking and exploring creative ways of bringing stories to life has only grown. This inspiring us to start a new (sweat-inducing) journey, as Lauren and I produce our first feature-length documentary film.
