Emily Harger

Emily Harger is an Emmy-nominated video producer, editor and photographer based in Oakland, CA. In 2018, she was recognized as an Emerging Video Journalist by the Society of Professional Journalists Northern California chapter. She was also awarded a Women-in-Docs grant from Glassbreaker Films to produce a short documentary about LGBTQ life in West Virginia. Her roots in southwest Pennsylvania drive her curiosity for the American identity across rural and urban communities. Previously, Emily taught filmmaking to high school youth at Youth Beat in Oakland, CA. In 2017, she was one of three filmmaking residents with Glassbreaker Films, an all women-identifying film studio of The Center for Investigative Reporting. When she’s not making films, she’s hiking, surfing, or making really, really good pie crust.
