I recently had an interview with The Shelbyville News! Shelbyville is my hometown, so I was thrilled to speak with Ross Flint about my web series REPRESENT, hoping that they might see fit to include me somewhere in the back of the Arts & Culture section. But it turns out that they found me worthy of the front page!  I was so excited that they wrote such an awesome article about me and my work, and that everyone back home was so supportive about it!

Recently I was cast in a sex-positive docuseries from K-Y, and the trailer just dropped! The Pleasure Is Mine features a bunch of women from all walks of life empowering themselves and each other by having vital conversations about women's pleasure and sex!  I had so much fun working with K-Y, Girl Culture Films, Dr. Holly Richardson, and Oscar-nominated director Amy J. Berg on this super important, female-driven piece.

The workshops that we had were fun, inspiring, challenging, and deeply necessary. I'm really proud of having worked on this project. Women's pleasure, and women's sex lives in general, is such a neglected conversation - still, in 2019, we're expected to skirt around the topic and ignore what we really want. I'm so thrilled to have been a small part of helping K-Y bring this subject to the foreground and shed light on a conversation that is way overdue. Not to mention the fact that now I have eight truly incredible lady friends who went on the journey with me! ♥ Keep an eye out for when the docuseries drops in April!

Hi, y'all!  Emily here!

My first announcement here is a change in the voice of my news post! When I started this website, I though that writing in the third person made me sound more professional. But now I've decided that I want another way for you to get to know me as a person - through my writing voice! So, from now on, this will be a first-person account of my professional wins. Mainly in service of being able to be true to how THOROUGHLY excited I am about my life, always.

Of course, it's only natural that my first gig in LA is creating a weird and wonderful piece that calls out and takes down the white hetero-patriarchal establishment *shrug emoji*. I'm so thrilled to be working with such awe-inspiring artists, and I still can't wrap my brain around the fact that I'm being paid to do this. What more could a girl want?

Dramatis Personae will be performing next weekend, February 16 and 17, at JOAN Los Angeles. More information about the performance can be found on the JOAN website. If you're in LA, I hope to see you there!

REPRESENT, the web series that Emily wrote and stars in, has just received its first film festival acceptance (excluding script and trailer selections)!  Episode 1x06, titled "The Patriarchy F*cks Up Everything," has been selected as a semi-finalist at the Los Angeles Cinefest!  Watch this space for more news as REPRESENT makes its way through the festival circuit!
