Emily Aguilar is an American film director, creative, extraordinaire; “a force to be reckoned with”. Straight out of film school, she wrote, directed and produced her very first feature film called CLARA’S ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS. A year later, she sold it to BMG Global where it’s available on PureFlix, Amazon Prime, Target and Walmart online stores and more. She then directed her second feature film, PIPELINE, an experimental horror-thriller, which was completed and sold just one year after her first feature film acquisition.
She has honed her craft freelancing creating branded video content for businesses and entrepreneurs, such as for the Hard Rock Cafe, Telemundo, The Yoga Collective and Angela Sum, a Project Runway designer, to name a few.
Emily went on to write, direct and produce her third feature film, BRIE’S BAKE OFF CHALLENGE, which is now on HBO Max and received an Exclusive on DEADLINE. In addition, she has directed and produced various award-winning short films and branded video content, including working with artists such as Snoop Dogg, Jordin Sparks, Warren G and Jenn Morel.
Currently under 30 years old, she is pushing through the barriers of being a female director of Salvadoran and Peruvian descent and is changing the status quo in the entertainment industry. Emily is an award-winning film director with a creative eye for detail and passionate about telling more inclusive character-driven stories.
She is a graduate of Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film & Television. Her work speaks for itself demonstrating hard work, perseverance, determination and love for storytelling through film. Follow her journey on Instagram and TikTok: @themomentem.
Emily can lead people with great technical skills because her communication powers are extraordinary. I am many years older than her, but I am quite willing to follow her directions to the letter and I have seen other image professionals immediately accept that she is alpha on set despite their own years of accomplishment and experience.
Emily can lead people with great technical skills because her communication powers are extraordinary. I am many years older than her, but I am quite willing to follow her directions to the letter and I have seen other image professionals immediately accept that she is alpha on set despite their own years of accomplishment and experience. This is also a rare ability, and she uses it with a perfect sense of balance: she asks for concentration and execution while also expecting and demanding opinion and intuition from the people who follow her direction.

Emily directed, filmed, produced, edited my Kickstarter video project for my brand "asum" with great passion, professionalism, creativity and enthusiasm. I hired her over many older, more experienced film producers because I sensed that she would give her whole heart to producing a great video, not just satisfy to get hired/paid. And my instincts were correct. She put great thought and detail through out the project... from conception, to video shooting, to production and editing. The quality of work matched the high quality of asum's brand, photos and workmanship. With her help, asum's video helped put my brand on the map, reaching customers around the world.
