Emily is a multidisciplinary artist working extensively as a film director and writer across genres. She’s been honored for her work as a writer, director, art director and photographer.

Her work includes the award winning animated doc HER BABY DIDN’T BLOCK HER JUMPSHOT, The NY Times Op-doc SANDORKRAUT, the chimerical puppetry film THE NEVER BELL, the feminist-futurist THE CLOCK, her lyrical debut feature SONG OF THE BASQUES, and the festival favorite A BIT OF EVERYTHING AND MATZOH BALLS TOO. She also produced KARLA’S ARRIVAL (short-listed for Spain’s Goyas) and directed NBC’s Comedy Showcase. Her award-winning screenplays, MIDLAND and ALL THAT FOLLOWS, explore our relationship with the natural world through character-driven, genre-bending narratives.
