About Speaker
Juliet Berman is a film and television producer with experience working in both the independent and studio/streamer space. She is a hands-on producer, shepherding each project from inception through the development and packaging phase, running point on set and in post, crafting the distribution/sales strategy and consulting with the distributor on marketing and publicity. Since forming Spiral Stairs Entertainment in 2023, Berman has produced two independent features, a remake of the 1991 cult classic DON’T TELL MOM THE BABYSITTER’S DEAD and coming of age comedy GRIFFIN IN SUMMER, starring Melanie Lyskey, Owen Teague and Kathryn Newton. Berman previously served as Head of Production for Treehouse Pictures, where she built a slate from the ground up of socially-conscious, commercial, film and television projects across all genres and managed an in-house fund for independent development/production financing. She has a track record of identifying emerging talent as well as working with high end IP rights holders. At Treehouse, Berman built an early relationship with Netflix. She brought in and oversaw the production and financing of SAND CASTLE, starring Nicholas Hoult and Henry Cavill, which was sold in post to Netflix as one of their early Original Film acquisitions. She followed that up with the romantic comedy SET IT UP, which was developed at Treehouse based on her original idea and went on to become Netflix’s top-performing movie in over 200 territories in the summer of 2018. Prior to Treehouse, Berman worked at New Line Cinema, Summit Entertainment and Anonymous Content. She grew up in Los Angeles and graduated with honors from Columbia University. In her spare time, she volunteers for non-profit mentorship program Young Storytellers, and serves as a jury member for several screenplay competitions and film festivals.
