Background

About Emily Bloom

I am a foreboding idealist. Slacks and a dress, and far more melodramatic than I would like to believe. Im big on drinks. At any given moment you may find me at my desk with three, maybe four different beverages in rotation. I do about 40% of my writing in the bathtub. I mostly write about what keeps me up at night. Telling stories about the people I see and know, but never see on screen, lights me up. I am tirelessly curious about why and how we are the way we are. I began my creative path in the visual arts and communication, ending up in film and media. Throughout my career the intersection has always been messaging. My intrigue peaks when I can utilize a creative platform to initiate change in social and political constructs, whether through narrative story-telling, documentaries, or commercial campaigns. My filmmaking efforts have taken me to Sundance, have won me Telly Awards, Official selection into multiple Oscar Qualifying Film Festivals, garnered Editors Pick at Ad Week… and blah blah blah. Amaro. I do love Amaro, and marching bands! Note the explanation point. Percussive instruments make me cry. I need fables and allegories and folklore and myth. I save seeds. I pray to James Baldwin every night before bed, and even though I am certain I will never figure out the answer, that is exactly what gets me up every morning.
