Emmylou Diaz

BIOGRAPHIE

EMMYLOU DIAZ (Director) constantly seeks the edge in her storytelling, whether she’s exploring complex relationships, dysfunctional families, or the absurdities of everyday life. She’s a multi-hyphenate talent—director, writer, producer, and actor—who began her career on the smash CW dramedy Jane the Virgin. Starting as a writers’ assistant, she quickly made her mark, co-writing and producing two episodes during the show’s award-winning first season, before being promoted to staff writer for season two. Since then, Emmy has worked as a Co-Executive Producer on acclaimed projects, including an Untitled Thriller for Amazon and The Watchful Eye for Freeform/Hulu. Other credits include Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, Charmed, and Station 19. Emmy’s passion for storytelling is rooted in her background as a performer– she holds an MFA in Acting from the American Repertory Theatre Institute at Harvard. In front of the camera, she recently starred in the indie feature California Scenario, set to release later this year. Emmy currently serves as Advisor to the Humanitas New Voices Fellowship and is co-chair of the WGA Latinx Writers Committee. Having directed several micro-shorts as an alum of the LA Directors Lab, A Peculiar Morning is Emmy’s short film directorial debut.
