Emile studied mathematics and English at Oberlin College, where he fell in love with documentary filmmaking. He has made films about a small town skateboard park, the relationships between various institutional lifestyles, collectives of Guatemalan women who work to preserve native species of corn and a technical theater program at a girl’s school in Cleveland. He also collaborated with Geoff Pingree on the forthcoming documentary feature, The Return of Elder Pingree. Currently, he is pursuing an MFA in documentary film and video at Stanford University.
