Emily Wilson is a LA-based filmmaker with a long held, unyielding passion and curiosity for cinema.
As a writer-director, Emily’s films tend to be darkly comedic and outrageous in subject matter.

Other writer-director accolades include laurels at SXSW, SeriesFest, The Gotham Labs, Vimeo Staff Pick, and “Top Films of 2020” as curated by No Budge.
As a professional video editor Emily has collaborated with high-profile media companies in both the scripted and documentary space for film, television, branded, and digital media. Such work has been seen on Viceland, A&E, Lifetime, National Geographic, Sport Illustrated - to name just a handful.
Within the festival space, Emily’s editing work has played TIFF, SXSW, Sundance, Fantastic Fest, Final Girls Berlin, IndieLisboa, and Philadelphia Latino Film Festival. As a seasoned post production professional, she’s also taken on roles as Head of Post Production, Story Editor, and Post-Producer.
