Julia Garner Attends 'The Assistant' Premiere in Telluride!

Julia Garner poses for photos outside in the gorgeous mountainside at the 2019 Telluride Film Festival on Friday (August 30) in Telluride, Col.

The 25-year-old actress was joined by writer and director Kitty Green at the premiere of their new movie The Assistant.

Julia plays the assistant to an abusive executive in the entertainment industry, though they did not base the producer character on Harvey Weinstein.

“This girl is fairly new in the business,” Julia told Vulture. “She probably just got out of school and she’s struggling with what’s right and what’s wrong, but she still wants to keep her job. For people who maybe have worked in an abusive environment and they are like, I said something! I’m like, No you didn’t, you wanted to keep your job. It’s about that. It’s not about Weinstein. There [have been] so many cases, so it’s about not forgetting them, not having to go back to square one, where we were.”

Julia is currently nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work on Ozark.
