My name is Emrys Mayell. I'm a filmmaker and photographer from the Bay Area.

I've been making short films of all kinds since I was 12 years old, most of which have been with my friend Gabriel Studer-Randall, and together we founded Seventh Direction Films. Short documentaries are my main focus, about everyone from performance artists to my grandmother. I also co-produced and co-DP'ed a feature documentary about Oakland’s Wood Street unhoused community that's in post-production.

Along with documentaries, I also make music videos and promotional material, I’ve shot a few weddings, and I occasionally take part in live productions and scripted films.

Other hobbies of mine include web design (I coded this site from scratch!), playing/producing music, graphic design, font design, architecture, writing, and pretty much any other art form I can get my hands on. My non-art interests include sociology, education, archivism, and network technology.
