About the Director
*Click to expand
Hi, my name is Emily Cunningham. My background is in Video Editing and Art Direction, with a degree in Film Production Technology from Valencia State under the tutelage of Ralph Clemente.
I am a Storyteller. And it is my passion to write, produce and direct films.
BREAK was my debut short film and first foray into independently producing my own projects. It is a Thriller Story about a young woman who escapes her oppression.
"Break" was shown in several Film Festivals and recently played at the Sherry Theater in the NoHo Arts District. The film continues to thrill and be well received by audiences today.
Once I have completed 5 short films, I will graduate onto features. "Guardian of the Watcher" is my fourth short film and it is in the Previsualization Stage.

The Storyboards and the Animatic.
What's an Animatic and why is it needed?
The Animatic is the animated storyboards. Its purpose is to stage and plan complex scenes and sequences in advance of production when sequences are heavy in special effects.
George Lucas relied upon this approach to bring a sense of realism to Star Wars and Alfred Hitchcock was famously known for storyboarding and planning his productions before ever exposing one frame of film.
The animatic is an invaluable communication tool and step-by-step blueprint to execute complex sequences with precision and safety.

This video is a wonderful example of Previsualization.
