Early life and education[edit]

Emma Tammi was born in New York City[2] She was introduced to cinema by her parents, Marcia and Paul Tammi, both theater actors, [3] She obtained small roles during her childhood, Most notably as Young Bibby in Used People 1992, and a Episode of Law & Order as Allison Ryder.[4] She attended Wesleyan University.[5]

Career[edit]

After her studies at Wesleyan University, Tammi did an internship with Robert Altman who would have a great influence on her work[5]. After an experience in editing with the film Lost/loved (2010), she moved to Los Angeles and launched into production by founding her own studio, Mind Hive, with Henry Jacobson. [6]

Her first film, Fair Chase, was produced and co-directed with Alex Cullen and released in 2014. The film is a documentary about long distance runners. In 2017, she co-directed with Jacobson a second documentary entitled Election day: Lens across America, recounting the American presidential election through the eyes of photojournalists.

In 2018, she produced her first fiction film, Bloodine, directed by Henry Jacobson. The same year, she directed the film The Wind, a horror-western set in the 18th century,  which tells the story of the installation of a couple, Lizzy and Isaac Macklin, in an isolated place in New Mexico in which Lizzy Macklin is confronted with strange phenomena. It was thanks to her experience filming in the landscapes of New Mexico for the film Fair Chase that Emma Tammi was hired to direct The Wind. The film achieved critical acclaim and was nominated at festivals.

She notably produced the film Jay Myself in 2019 directed by Stephen Wilkes.

In 2020, she directed the science fiction audio series The Left Right Game, the rights to which were bought by Amazon to adapt it into a television series.
