Dr. Arshley Emile is a Director and award winning cinematographer with an already incredibly prolific career that spans only 7 years. His love and passion for filmmaking was something he was aware of as early as 8 years old, but it was not until he embarked on his dissertation on racism in public schools, that he realized that his admiration for visual arts spanned well beyond the classroom. Instead of just going the traditional route of dissertation writing, Dr. Emile ventured on a journey that would eventually lead to a career focused on film. Today Dr. Emile is a full-time creator, and has already been selected for numerous film festivals. He recently won Best Documentary for 2022 in the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and won the award for Best Documentary in the Atlanta Film Festival, all of which highlights how remarkably gifted he is considering his short time in the business. Furthermore, Dr. Emile has delivered projects for television news programs, corporations, produced music videos, and content for public schools, as well as nonprofit organizations. His primary focus is helping to portray the black and brown community in a more positive light, to dispel the negative racial narratives historically perpetuated by the media and the general public. He is competent in all aspects of the production process from initial stages of researching and organizing production to script writing, interviewing, camera and editing. Dr. Emile is the driving creative force behind “Losing Eric Garner”, and hopes to one day film and produce feature films and to have his own sound stage campus where both young and seasoned filmmakers can gather and create.
