⟟ cleveland & detroit

I am a director, screenwriter, and filmmaker who specializes in bringing queer and female-led stories to the screen.

 

With a focus on rekindling my inner child and that of others, my stories feature motifs of nostalgia and coming-of-age, with a hope to create a sense of empathy for those who are underrepresented in media. 

Since I was young, I have had an affinity for anything creative, constantly covered in paint while running outside in the rain. With each passing year, I dread getting older more and more, and I mourn my childhood.

​​​I am focused on the idea of bringing back child-like wonder through my stories, as I often daydream of the days of naiveté. In doing so, I have given myself a newfound sense of freedom, watering my inner-child so I can expand and grow.

Three bunnies jumping, Emma Herzig's logo

The three jumping bunnies as my logo is a play on my childhood nickname, Bunny, and a nod to Edward Muybridge's, "The Horse in Motion."
