About Emmett

I am a writer-director-cinematographer. I have thirteen published stage plays that have been produced over 200 times. I am also a still photographer and just wrote and illustrated my first children's book, "Clawdette the Cat," published by Adamo Press. I just directed my fourth feature film, "The Maginot Line." Two of my previous features are currently streaming on Tubi: "Girls' Night In" and "She's Out of His Mind." Also check out my comedy short "Good Business Sense" on Tubi. I am also a still photographer with a studio in West Los Angeles.
