about Em

I’m 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.
