*** Hi! Before we dive in, I just gotta let you know that this site works and looks best on a desktop. ***

My name is EMILY RYDER and I am a writer, narrative filmmaker, and commercial producer from Toronto who is great at my job, but terrible at updating this website!

As a creative, I’m drawn to stories that explore the complexity of intergenerational relationships through the lens of queer becoming and womanhood.

As a producer, I’m drawn to collaborators who care as deeply as I do about the work they’re putting on screen and the people they’re hiring to make it happen.

Outside of my personal work, I currently manage a team of editors and motion designers at Leo Burnett Canada, where I work as a post producer (and sometimes internal line producer).

When I’m not doing all of that, you’ll most likely find me telling jokes on stages around the city.
