Juliet Sonnenberg is a film producer and writer, based in Atlanta, Georgia. She started out working primarily on documentaries and promotional videos, and began writing in 2006, when she founded Metamorphose Films, an Atlanta-based production company. She is now in pre-production for her first indie feature length film, The Beneficiary, which is loosely based on a true story from the 1930s.

Sonnenberg directed and produced her first feature-length film, the award-winning documentary Hoot in the Hole - the story of the Jackson Hole Hootenanny in 2008. Chronicling the famed Jackson Hole Hootenanny, a folk and country music jam held every Monday at Dornan’s Restaurant and Bar in Moose, Wyoming, the film received an award for Excellence in a Music Documentary at the Park City Film Music Festival in 2007, before its official release.

Sonnenberg’s next documentary, Methidemic, is an intense but hopeful look at the war on meth in communities across the United States. Methidemic was released in 2016 as an eight-part mini-series of half-hour episodes, covering four states across the country..

As an experiment, Sonnenberg wrote, produced, and directed a spec film Zombie Juice, which is about the unusual effect an energy drink brings to the unsuspecting people who drink it. She organized a one-day shoot that involved more than 100 volunteers (performers, film crew, make-up artists and extras), and several businesses in the East Atlanta neighborhood. Zombie Juice remains uncompleted, although a version can be viewed on the Metamorphose Films website.

In addition to Metamorphose Films, Sonnenberg runs a video services group, VisibleVideo.tv, as well as a start-up technology company, Web4site.net, which specializes in website and app design, search engine optimization, and online marketing.
