Bio
Emily is a Director whose evocative work doesn’t compromise on meaning. With an instinct for rhythm, humour, and thoughtful performance, her filmmaking explores what we accept as normal.
Sharp’s early years in advertising saw her put her name to the first social-led campaign to win a Cannes Lion, The United Nations’ People’s Seat with Sir David Attenborough. Her subsequent narrative work has gone on to have equally bold real-world implications; Uh Oh resulting in the creation of an AI Ethics Taskforce inside 10 Downing Street, and Smile leading to landmark legislation outlawing Public Sexual Harassment in England and Wales. Meanwhile, her commercial portfolio continues to develop globally recognised work for Tinder, Oreo, Tesco, and the BBC.
Drawn to the gap between the world as it is and as it could be, Sharp’s work ultimately questions whether the familiar is as fixed as we think.
