About the Artist: Emily Harrold (Orangeburg, SC), Director/Producer, is a documentary filmmaker whose films have screened at Tribeca, DOCNYC and Telluride. Her short film MELTDOWN IN DIXIE has garnered many awards including a 2022 DuPont Columbia Finalist designation and a 2022 Silver Telly Award. Her feature directing debut WHILE I BREATHE I HOPE won the documentary Audience Award at the 2018 New Orleans Film Festival, premiered on WORLD Channel's AfroPop series in 2019, and won a 2020 Southeast Region Emmy. Her feature producing debut MONKEY BUSINESS premiered at the 2017 LA Film Festival and won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2017 Nantucket Film Festival. While in Residence, Harrold will work on her feature documentary film about South Carolina's Sister Senators. Spanning over three years, the film follows the only five women of the South Carolina State Senate as they work together across party lines to fight for women's rights.
About the Project: During her Residency, Harrold will work on footage review, story arc development, and editing for SISTER SENATORS, a feature documentary film meant to celebrate bipartisanship and uplift the perspectives of Southern women. Feedback and community engagement will be a significant part of her process. The film is set to release in late 2026 or early 2027 with a far-reaching community screening tour to follow, with a focus on using the documentary to inspire gender equity and parity in government.
Project Finale: Friday, March 6th, 5 – 9PM during First Fridays in Starland
