Emma Holabird is a Los Angeles–based director and creative director. She has been making films since childhood, exploring themes of new-nostalgia and blurring the boundary between reality and fantasy to create visuals that feel both familiar, and dreamlike. 

She studied Film and Digital Media at UC Santa Cruz, where she directed multiple short films, including The Other Woman (2023), an Official Finalist at the Spotlight International Film Festival. After graduating, she became the creative director for the band Silverdeer (formerly saturn 17), directing and producing their music videos and visualizers while shaping the project’s visual identity through photography and cover artwork.

Emma currently works as a social media manager and product photographer, where she has developed experience creating brand-focused visual content across digital campaigns and commercial imagery.
