Bio: Emma Richardson

Stories can push us to feel emotion and empathy for those with whom we share our world. Stories are what connect us to others and inform us on how different people lead their lives – and my goal is to help people share their stories through the art of documentary film.

My nonfiction projects include a film on a ten-year-old boy’s love for rapping, short films on the issues surrounding members of New Haven’s Mothers and Others for Justice, a film about the road homeless dogs from Louisiana take to find their forever homes, a biography of singer-songwriter-activist Elaine Kolb, and a film on a woman in India who assists girls in local villages.

In addition to my personal projects, I am a professional assistant editor at Triple Threat TV in Stamford, CT and regularly organize footage and assemble rough cuts for television series. I also do freelance filmography and editing for local businesses and organizations such as Elm Shakespeare Company in New Haven, CT and the River Advocates of South Central CT in which I create promotional videos and record and edit their events and shows.

I will soon graduate with a BA in Film, Television, and Media Arts from Quinnipiac University and will continue to hone my storytelling and content creation skills by pursuing a MS in Interactive Communications and Media.
