about Em
Iām a nonbinary filmmaker with a passion for non-fiction + experimental storytelling centering queer and disabled voices.
As a filmmaker based in Austin, TX, I primarily direct non-fiction films that explore community-oriented stories collaborating with artists across disciplines; including: movement, performance art, and poetry. My work has screened at a range of festivals and venues, including BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Festival, Oak Cliff Film Festival, and Bucheon International Animation Festival. 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. Every February, you can find me at OUTsider Festival. In 2026, I assisted OUTsider in the capacity of Operations Coordinator. In addition, I'm a Curatorial Advisory Board Member for Future Front Texas.
