Having started acting for fun aged 14 (\u201cYou know, to overcome my shyness\u201d), it was a year later that Garner turned her hobby into a career. \u201cWhen I actually realised that acting could be a profession, I wanted to try it,\u201d says Garner in her sweeterthan-syrup American drawl. \u201cI thought, \u2018OK, I\u2019ll try it\u2019. My mother was an actress 30 years ago in the 80s, so she was like, \u2018Are you sure? It\u2019s a really hard profession, you know! See if you get good feedback on your auditions and if not, don\u2019t do it. Take it one step at a time\u2019. Obviously, she didn\u2019t want me to waste my time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Having starred in the likes of 2012 cult drama Electrick Children (where she played a Mormon) and recent release Grandma, along with a lead role in We Are What We Are (that received a ten minute standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival), it\u2019s safe to say Garner\u2019s time has been well spent. A year on from that conversation with her mother, Garner was working with a film student at Columbia Film School who she\u2019d been introduced to by her acting teacher. The student\u2019s girlfriend was interning at a casting office, so thanks to her, Garner caught wind of an open call for the American version of Skins. \u201cThere were 1,500 kids in New York and they were looking in LA and Canada too,\u201d recalls Garner. \u201cI got all the way to the end, but didn\u2019t get the part. But that casting director also cast Martha Marcy May Marlene, my first movie at the age of 16.\u201d The indie film directed and produced by Sean Dirkin \u2013 that chronicles the paranoia and delusions of a woman who returns to her family from a mountain cult \u2013 set the tone for Garner\u2019s roles to follow.<\/p>\n<p>In last August\u2019s road trip comedy-drama Grandma, she stars alongside Tea With Mussolini and I Heart Huckabees star Lily Tomlin. \u201cIt was wonderful working with her,\u201d Garner enthuses. \u201cJust watching her work, watching her on the monitor, I learnt how engaged she is with everything. She\u2019s very focussed and she acknowledges everything and everyone around her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So does Garner have her sights on a big budget film, or is she keen to continue her path of independence? \u201cEventually, I would like to work on both but I think, for now, the indie films are the ones with the best scripts. I like anything with a good story. I mean, if you have a studio film with better writing and an indie film with poor writing, I would pick the studio film. But I only do things with stories that interest me. If it\u2019s bad writing, I\u2019m just not going to go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2015\/10\/julia-gardner-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\"
