Emilia Figliomeni (they/them) lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. Born and raised in Bologna, Italy, at age 14 Emilia left to attend a boarding school in Massachusetts and completed a B.A. in Visual Art and Literary Arts at Brown University (2018). Emilia is currently pursuing an MFA in film production and narrative directing at the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television thanks to the support of the John H. and Patricia W. Mitchell Fellowship.
At Brown University, Emilia explored painting, printmaking, and comics as mediums where language and image can meet, and Emilia’s passion for video led to working on several independent and commissioned projects and as an assistant editor on Madeleine Olnek’s Wild Nights with Emily. Currently, Emilia is a full time student and part time teaching assistant at UCLA.
Emilia’s current film project, which is in pre-production and shoots in January, is called One to Grow On.
