Welcome!
My name is Emily Sturgill. I am currently a Senior at UW–Madison studying Communication with a certificate in German and Digital Cinema Production.
I’m passionate about the entertainment industry because storytelling is the only career that truly feels purposeful to me. I’m constantly creating through writing, editing, directing, and exploring new ideas. I’m driven to learn from every opportunity, no matter how big or small. I want to explore every avenue, learn from every opportunity, and create wherever I can. I wake up knowing that each day brings new observations and experiences that fuel the stories I’m passionate about telling. Following my graduation, I plan to move to Los Angeles, New York, or Atlanta.
Here is my resume!

I consider myself to have three homes. I was born in Nashville Tennessee, but I spent my childhood and teenage years growing up in Munich, Germany, which is my first home. I attended an International School from 2nd-12th grade. Attending an international school with 60+ nationalities taught me the value of clear communication and context while vastly improving my open-mindedness, cultural awareness, and adaptability. Every summer while I was in Germany, I would visit Cincinnati to spend time with my family, which gave me a sense of familiarity and connection. My third home is Madison, Wisconsin, where I have spent the past three years. Madison has provided me with countless opportunities and connections, not only with friends but also with individuals who share my passion. This has allowed me to broaden my knowledge while being surrounded by insightful professors and well-rounded peers. I hope to grow this list of homes in the future.
My life revolves around creating. When I'm not editing or filming, I’m usually crocheting, always keeping my hands busy I have been crocheting since 2020 and I pretty much make anything under the sun. Blankets, Clothes, Stuffed animals or small knick knacks pretty much anything that is capable of being crocheted I have attempted even if I failed.
Some examples.
