Hi, I’m Emma Looman, a Sheridan College graduate with an Honours Bachelor's in Film and Television Production, eager to break into the pre-production side of the Canadian film and TV industry. I excel at scripting, collaboration, and problem-solving, with hands-on experience across writing, production design, and on-set coordination. I’m motivated, adaptable, and comfortable working solo or as part of a team, and I enjoy turning ideas into polished, audience-ready stories. I have previously worked closely with other filmmakers as a screenwriter to bring their vision to life.
