Emily Branham is a filmmaker living in Brooklyn, New York. She is currently finishing her first feature-length documentary film about BeBe Zahara Benet, a drag artist in Minneapolis who is originally from Cameroon. Emily has been producing and directing the film completely independently since May of 2006.
By freelancing as a post-production supervisor and editor on commercials and music videos in New York City, Emily has been able to piece together a living while still making time to shoot her own projects and build her reel as a director. Balance and stability? Not so much. Never a dull moment? That’s for sure!
Originally from Minneapolis, Emily earned a degree in Radio/TV/Film from Northwestern University in 2002. She has directed music videos for artists including Jonatha Brooke, Eleni Mandell, and the Muckrakers, and has made several short films that have screened on Current TV, the Had To Be Made Film Festival DVD series, and at the New Haven Film Festival.
