Founder, SunnysideVR
Emma knew she wanted to work in media production since she was
an adolescent, and started out on that path by attending high school at the
Perpich Center for Arts Education with a focus in media arts. She then wen
t on to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts with a major in Film & Televisio
n Production. Since graduating from Tisch in 2007, Emma has worked in non-f
iction media of all kinds, including documentary, news, corporate, and inte
ractive media. She has had the privilege to work with and learn from talent
ed documentarians such as Ross Kauffman (Born Into Brothels) and Joe Fab (P
aper Clips). Through her work in interactive media for museums, she learned
to film 360° video in 2013, before virtual reality was even on the mai
nstream radar, and fell in love with the medium so in 2015 Emma launched Su
nnysideVR, a full-service VR video production company where she creates vir
tual reality content for brands, as well as immersive journalism.
