Vivacious, witty, & a Bit feral.
​A note from Emery:
All my stories include a few repeated themes-- the beauty of nature, female sexual expressions, homages to my grandmother's sense of interior design, and lots of dry humor. My films are whimsical, just on the cusp of genre, but grounded by deeply lived in characters. I view the department heads and actors that I collaborate with as true craftsmen of their trade. I tend to bond with people over our shared values rather than shared interests and because of that, the teams I work with are diverse, hard working, and extremely detail oriented.
