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 I am a Teaching Artist with Creative Action. Additionally, I enjoy serving as Volunteer Coordinator for OUTsider Festival and working as a freelance editor.
