When Juliette Sol saw Terminator II at the age of 13, she knew instantly that the cinema was her path to excellence. An avid reader brought up without TV, she discovered on the silver screen that written text and visual images were potent allies for storytelling. At the first opportunity, she left school to try her hand at reporting and production, eventually securing a BA in cinema and a research degree on Hollywood’s Francis Scott Fitzgerald. Determined to start working right away, she joined MK2’s "Acquisition" division, where she stayed for five years - ample time to familiarise herself with cinema economics, visit film festivals and markets, broaden her industry knowledge, write a screenplay that would never be produced, and feel the frustration of having only limited input in the countless projects landing on her desk. It was not until November 2005, when she joined the joint French-UK organisation "The Bureau Films" that she finally had her first shot at production. In 2006, she cleared the hurdle of the first short film, produced in Barcelona, and met Gilles Tillet who approached her with two screenplays, one short and one long. She took on the first project and decided, with the second, to create her own company. With five filmmakers already in mind for new production projects, she believes in building a working relationship based on mutual trust and loyalty – the key to establishing her company’s place in the industry over the long term. With a daredevil attitude that has been with her since a young age, she says:  "I won’t stop myself doing things just because they scare me."
