Emily Renner Wallace: Fantastic First AD
Emily got started in the film industry right out of high school. At 18 years old, she began working at the Calgary International Film Festival. That opened up doors for her to then work on film sets, and Emily has worked her way up.
She’s now an active First AD on sets in and around the Calgary area. Emily was the first AD on the hit series Wynonna Earp, she worked on the Disney Plus show Togo, and she’s also been making strides to direct her own short films too.
In this episode:
We hear more about Emily’s position as first AD, some of the projects that she took on in her early career, and what her job entails. We learn about what it’s like on set for Wynonna Earp, Togo, and other projects. Next, we hear about burnout, the importance of prep, and how social distancing has impacted her job. Finally, we hear her 3 tips for starting out in the industry.
