He grew up working in a movie theater built by his family, and was encouraged to love cinema from a young age. After studying pure mathematics at Oberlin College, Emile received an MFA in Documentary Film & Video from Stanford University, where he directed and produced several films that have screened across the United States and overseas, including ‘Son of Macista’, a tribute to his father for taking great care of him while he suffered a frightening psychotic break at age 20. A partner and co-owner at Dogpatch Films, Emile is proud to contribute video services to the A2A project. Bennett Bibel
