About

Better Than Bad Films is a boutique studio founded by award-winning director and creative strategist Julia Barrett-Mitchell.

The name Better Than Bad is both a wink and a manifesto—a rebellion against ego, pretension, and the futile pursuit of “perfect.” It’s a reminder that the best creative work is human, playful, and collaborative. Where your ideas are nurtured and the process is fun.

From concept to final cut, Better Than Bad Films approaches every project with strategic precision and cinematic flair. Whether it’s a branded campaign, a web or social first series, a documentary or narrative short film, Julia and her team strive to create work that is entertaining, impactful, and unmistakably alive..

And the results? They're better than bad. Heck, they’re f*cking amazing.

Julia’s work has been published by NPR, BBC, Vevo, Nylon, Chronogram, Inside+Out, Letterboxd, and premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival. It has also won “Best Of” awards at the Big Apple Film Festival and the Hudson Valley Film Festival.
