IN DEVELOPMENT

Emily’s first feature film, THE AXIA METHOD (writer/director) is a psychological thriller about privilege and entitlement, the fantasy of wellness, and the rampant manipulation inside one of America’s fastest growing industries: Personal Development. “Jill, a nurse with intimacy issues, is dragged to a remote luxury wellness retreat by her childhood best-friend Lizzie, an ‘aging’ actress. They are forced to face their ugly truths in order to manifest their dreams...but is the group all lies and false promises…”

THE AXIA METHOD is in development with Tandem Pictures (BLACK BEAR, Sundance 2020/THE SURROGATE SXSW 2020) and Roya Rastegar (GAGA: FIVE FOOT TWO, Netflix).

She is currently seaking producing partners for her feature script BABYGIRL (writer/director). “The year is 2000 and Luisa, an eighth-grader from Bushwick, has just transferred to an elite all-girls Manhattan private school. As a scholarship student, person of color, and the only transfer in her year, Luisa is grateful when a group of wealthy white students take her under their wing. However, as the girls explore adolescence in an era of extreme materialism and misogyny, Luisa must navigate not only the end of childhood, but also the limits of assimilation.

post production

Emily’s short film, THE AGENT, is currently in post-production. The film follows a C-list talent agent who is all but invisible in the world…until he enters a pay-to-play audition room where aspiring actors treat him like a god with the power to change their lives.
