She loves to use elements of humour to underpin her dramatic narratives. Having created a well received clutch of short films she is now developing her first feature and is focussed on long form work in TV and film.

Emma is also an in demand commercials director and her reel includes spots for Speech & Language UK, Dove, Ecover, Lovehoney, Barclays and many more. Her work is recognised for its nuanced performances and trademark heartbreak/humour combo.

It premiered at London Short Film Festival and played widely including Raindance, Underwire and MANIFF. It was nominated for Best International Short at Oscar qualifier Flickerfest (Australia) and Schlingel Filmfestival (Germany). ‘RUN’ is available to view in full on Director's Notes.
