About the Director
When Emily McDougall was sixteen, she attended a technical school that specifically trained on film and media. While she was there, she discovered her passion for digital art and storytelling. During this time, Emily was also enrolled in college courses, allowing her to graduate with an Associate's in Arts and high school diploma at the same time. After, she attended Central Washington University, where she later graduated with her Bachelor's in Film and a Minor in Art and Design. During her time at CWU, she was awarded "Outstanding Achievement in Documentary" and directed an award-winning short entitled "The First." Since then, Emily has continued to network with fellow filmmakers on the East Coast while maintaining her connections with fellow filmmakers from CWU. Her desire is to continue to create content that propels audiences into a world of "what if."
