Veteran producer Julie Corman has produced over 25 films ranging from horror and fantasy through science fiction, drama, family, and comedy. She has hired such noted talents as Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, John Sayles, Monte Hellman, Martin Sheen, Charles Grodin, Ray Walston, Diane Ladd, Phil Hartman, Jon Lovitz, Jonathan Kaplan, Jason Priestly, Barbara Hershey and Mario van Peebles. All her films have the remarkable distinction of having made a profit.

In 1970 Corman co-founded New World Pictures, which soon became one of the most successful independent production and distribution companies in the film industry. The company produced and distributed over 200 feature films, in addition to distributing a prestigious slate of international films by such acclaimed directors as Francois Truffaut, Ingmar Bergman, Volker Schlondorff (whose "Tin Drum" won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film), Federico Fellini and Akira Kurosawa.

Her first producing credit was in 1971 on Boxcar Bertha (directorial debut for Scorcese), starring Barbara Hershey and David Carradine. Corman went on to produce Moving Violations, starring Kay Lenz and Eddie Albert; Crazy Mama (directed by Jonathan Demme and chosen as the U.S. entry in the Edinburgh Film Festival), starring Cloris Leachman, Jim Backus, Stuart Whitman and Ann Sothern; The Lady In Red (written by John Sayles; the U.S. entry at the Deauville Film Festival and hailed by the Los Angeles Weekly as one of the "10 Best Films of the Year"), starring Robert Conrad and Pamela Sue Martin; Saturday the 14th, starring Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss; and Da (from the Tony award-winning play), which was filmed on location in Ireland and stars Bernard Hughes and Martin Sheen.

With the sale of New World Pictures in 1983, Corman and her husband, film legend Roger Corman, founded a new production and distribution company, Concorde-New Horizons, which has proved even more prolific than its predecessor.

In 1995, the Cormans started another successful studio, Concorde Anois, in Galway Bay, Ireland.

Corman has produced several family films under her Trinity Pictures label. In 1996 she was named "Producer of the Year" by the Academy of Family Film & Television. The films honored by the award are: The Dirt Bike Kid, starring Peter Billingsley; Max Is Missing (the 1995 top-rated family film on Showtime), starring Charles Napier and Toran Caudell; and a series of wilderness films: A Cry In The Wild (based on Gary Paulsen's Newbery Award-winning novel, Hatchet), starring Jared Rushton; White Wolves: A Cry in the Wild II, starring Mark Paul Gosselaar; and White Wolves II: Legend of the Wild, starring Elizabeth Berkley, Corin Nemec, Justin Whalin, and Jeremy London.

Since then, Julie Corman has produced: Legend of the Lost Tomb, based on Walter Dean Myers' book Tales of a Dead King, starring Stacy Keach and Rick Rossovich and shot entirely on location in Egypt; and The Westing Game, based on Ellen Raskin's Newberry Award-winning novel and starring Ray Walston, Diane Ladd and Sally Kirkland. Both films aired on Showtime. Currently, she is in active development at Fox 2000 on Masque of the Red Death with Alex Proyas directing, and The Princess of Pluto at New Line.

Corman has also had an active family life, raising four children in Los Angeles and tending to a farm in the San Joaquin Valley. Additionally, Corman is affiliated with The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Women in Film, and the International Women's Forum. She holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature from UCLA.

Corman has given numerous film seminars at NYU, UCLA, USC, Duke and Sundance.
