About

Emily Freda Sharp is a Director who creates playful work that doesn’t compromise on meaning.

Her initial years in advertising saw her put her name to the first social-led campaign to win a Cannes Lion; The United Nations’ People’s Seat with Sir David Attenborough. Meanwhile her darkly comic debut short film, Uh Oh, had a major impact upon release, leading to the creation of the UK government’s AI Ethics Taskforce inside 10 Downing Street.

She has since gone on to direct global campaigns for Twix, Marks & Spencer, Tinder, BBC iPlayer, Eurovision, and Tesco, with commercial performances from Rylan, Gemma Collins, Dani Dyer, and The England Men's Squad.

With a taste for playful sentimentality, Emily’s style allows her to explore complex subjects through a distinctive lens; From violence against women and girls to selective mutism, her filmmaking challenges and engages in equal measure.
