Dr. Arshley EMILE

Dr. Arshley Emile is an award winning documentary director and  cinematographer with 7 years to his credit. His love and passion for filmmaking  was something he was aware of as early as 8 years old, but it was not until he  embarked on his dissertation on racism in public schools, that he realized that his  admiration for visual arts spanned well beyond the classroom. Instead of just  going the traditional route of dissertation writing, Dr. Emile ventured on a journey  that would eventually lead to a career focused on film. Today Dr. Emile is a full  time creator.  He has already been selected for numerous film festivals and has recently  won Best Documentary for 2022 in the Santa Barbara International Film Festival,  all of which highlights how remarkably gifted he is considering his short time in  the business. Furthermore, Dr. Emile has projects ranging from television news  programs, corporations, music videos, public school settings, as well as nonprofit  organizations. His primary focus is to help portray the black and brown  community in a more positive light as oppose to the narrative historically  perpetuated by the general public.  He is competent in all aspects of the production process from initial stages  of researching and organizing production to script writing, interviewing, camera  and editing. Dr. Emile hopes to one day film and produce feature films and to  have his own sound stage campus where both young and seasoned filmmakers  can gather and create.
