about Em

I’m a nonbinary filmmaker with a passion for non-fiction storytelling centering queer and disabled voices.

As a filmmaker based in Austin, TX,  I primarily direct non-fiction multimedia films that explore community-oriented stories collaborating with artists across disciplines.  Films I have directed and produced have screened at festivals including BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Festival, Oak Cliff Film Festival, Bucheon International Animation Festival and DOC NYC.   
I hold an MFA in Film and Media Production from The University of Texas at Austin, and a BFA in Animation from Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
Currently, I lecture at the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Texas at San Antonio.  Additionally, I enjoy serving as Festival Operations Coordinator for OUTsider, a Curatorial Advisory Board Member for Future Front Texas, and working as a freelance editor + production designer.
