He is a sophomore at Carolina Day School in Asheville, where he got his start making shorts for school projects. Emery immediately fell in love with the creative and engaging process of making a movie, and hasn’t stopped making them since. In May of 2009, one of his short films was screened at the Fine Arts theater in Asheville. Since then, the size of his production team has grown exponentially, and he has produced multiple other shorts. Whenever Emery is not working on a movie, he is watching one. He enjoys action, comedy, horror, drama, and anything else that isn’t a romantic comedy. In making films, he focuses on action comedies, a difficult genre for a low budget.
