Filmmaker Bio

Emily Gutierrez is a Toronto-born filmmaker whose work showcases the diverse stories of queer women. Growing up, Emily loved watching movies and television, but when she got older she realized that there was something missing. Being a young queer Asian woman, she rarely saw herself represented in the media. This inspired her to get into film and change that. She combined her talents, took several film courses, and created her first short film. Emily works as a successful web designer at a well-respected university in Toronto. Her other interests include martial arts, cats, and working out.
