\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Emily started her love for filmmaking in high school. She dabbled in photography for quite some time and became involved in a San Francisco photography movement called, Flaskmob. During her time with the growing group, she transitioned into making small films.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Cinequest is based in Silicon Valley and presents an annual film festival that attracts artists from around the world.\u00a0 Emily participated in a program that was focused on helping young people develop stories and learn the process of cinema.\u00a0 For the program, she created a short documentary-style film entitled Wrinkles<\/em>. \u00a0It explored the struggles of midlife when aging begins to play a larger role in people\u2019s lives.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Emily went on to experiment with more documentary filmmaking. In 2017, she got involved with a non-profit called The Grateful Garment Project.\u00a0 This non-profit helps victims of sexual violence by providing clothing to victims after they submit a \u201crape-kit\u201d at a hospital.\u00a0 Before this non-profit was established, many of these victims had to leave the hospital with just a hospital gown.\u00a0 Emily was moved by the work being done and wanted to spread the word about this organization. She combined her love of filmmaking with her passion for helping others and made a short documentary about The Grateful Garment Project.\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Emily is determined to turn her passion for film making into her future career. She often works on student sets at her University and pursues any opportunities that will improve her abilities.\u00a0 During her freshman year, she was selected as one of two students that would represent DePaul at the \u00a0Sundance Film Festival.\u00a0 This opportunity allowed her to meet and learn from a number of rising directors. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

In her free time, Emily works on writing scripts and building a production design binder. She is committed to producing high quality results.\u00a0 She has excellent organization skills with strong attention to detail. Emily puts her all into what she does and pushes herself to constantly do more and be better.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
