This past weekend, Emily was honored to attend the Broad Humor Film Festival!  Broad Humor Film Festival is a long-standing festival in Los Angeles celebrating women comedy filmmakers.  The screenplay for REPRESENT, a web series written and created by Emily, was selected as a finalist in the script competition!  Emily attended with Marissa Vonn, one of the directors of REPRESENT (both pictured to the right at the opening night party).  In addition to meeting tons of incredible female filmmakers, a selection from REPRESENT was given a live reading, to extremely positive feedback! 

Below you can see Emily, center, during the screenwriters' Q&A after the script finalist readings.  Emily is so grateful to have had the opportunity to connect with so many amazing women in comedy and film!  Be sure to go to REPRESENT's website to follow along as it continues through the festival circuit!

Emily's short film After was recently chosen as an official selection of the Pictoclik Women in Cinema showcase!

After follows two sisters, Kate and Natalie, who return to their childhood home several months after an epidemic decimates most of the population. Ostensibly, they are there to gather supplies to help them survive in the new world. But both are secretly searching for more.

Emily wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the horror/drama short, in which she appears alongside frequent collaborator Kimberly Hollkamp.  After was also chosen as an official selection of the Cardiff International Film Festival and the Fake Flesh Film Fest.

The short will screen with Pictoclik in San Francisco, as part of a program of several shorts by women filmmakers. Emily will be on hand for a Q&A portion after the screening.

The showcase will take place on August 26, 2018 in San Francisco, and After will be part of the 5:30pm program.  Tickets can be purchased on the Pictoclik website.
