Hailing from the bucolic English countryside, Emily Anderson is an award-winning director and creative director who has spent her career telling stories. She spent eight years as a documentary filmmaker, collaborating with global brands (DuPont, IBM, Microsoft, Philips) that sent her all over the world — from filming big wave surfers in Mexico to interviewing a Russian Oligarch whose bodyguard stood behind her with a gun. And that’s when she decided to get into comedy... Emily recently directed ‘Lucky Lyft’ an eight-episode surprise game show hosted by Bob the Drag Queen (out soon!), helmed quirky spots for Noom, Holiday Inn, and Walgreens. She directed the pilot ‘Happily Ever Ally’ featuring stand-up comedian Derek Gaines, a hit on the festival circuit. Her first narrative short premiered at the Hamptons International Film Festival, where it won the Next Exposure Grant, and was recognized as one of SHOOT’s ‘New Directors to Watch’ for the 'Dare Bigger’ surf film.
