Emmett Meade
Writer
Director
Producer
I am a passionate creative looking to step back into film after a long hiatus. I have 8 strong years of extensive collaboration in the film industry. For the past several years I explored early childhood education.
Being a teacher made me extremely resilient. I love production, and the fast paced nature of the two are surprisingly comparable. I am eager to hop back into film with the perspective, patience, and gratitude I gained from my time as an educator.
My goal is to write and direct my own feature length films.

Hobbies
I have a huge physical media collection of a ~1500 films (blu ray). I spend lots of time reading industry screenplays, the blacklist etc... Working on my own and providing feedback for other contacts. I hangout with some film friends through online gaming. Playing piano badly.

Skillset
I’m driven by the joy of creating and connecting. Whether I’m crafting a marketing strategy or working on a painting, I find fulfillment in projects that bring people together and make a difference. I aspire to grow into a role where I can lead with purpose, inspire creativity, and contribute to something meaningful.
