Emily has a BA in Writing for Television and Film. She is currently writing spec pilots in the dark comedy and comedy genre and 2 features that she will only discuss if you buy her alcohol. This year Emily made her feature film debut with Rob Zombie star, Jeff Daniel Phillips, in his film, Cursed in Baja which premiered at FrightFest UK. Emily was nominated for Best Actress at The Toronto International Women's Film Festival for her short film with 7 nominations, M**der She Wanted, that Emily wrote and starred in.
Emily has been a professional balloon artist for 10 years and is finally merging her two "loves" on film FOR YOU.
As a pastor's daughter Emily has been deeply trained to talk to strangers so that's why strangers get front row priority. Come open minded and ready for Emily to ask you questions. Don't be nervous!
Come to Emily's Taping Debut and experience a full crowd work show with balloons that needs your help. You make a request, she makes you a balloon but you gotta spill the T to get the goods. Emily loves strangers so bring some newbies she can crush.
RULES TO TALKING BACK WHEN EMILY TALKS TO YOU:
1. She never wants to make anyone feel uncomfortable so she only actually likes to interact with people that LOVE IT or secretly want it.
2. You don't need to be funny. That's Emily's job. Your job is to be your beautiful honest self and only than can some magic happen and hopefully you get a balloon out of it.
3. Be yourself. And if you feel like Emily isn't being herself... maybe call her out... see what happens.
4. This is a taping so this night is super special so just know you're special just being in the room.
All proceeds go toward the production costs of this production so thank you so much for contributing to a crew of people's dreams aka mainly Emily's dream.
