PRODUCER

Emily Wirth is an award-winning producer who loves to travel and hang out with cats, even though they make her sneeze. She is a native New Yorker and growing up in this city has given her an intimate familiarity with some of television and film’s most iconic locations. It’s also the root of an annoying habit of pressing “pause” on the remote to wax poetic about building lobbies.

Emily began her career in locations working on projects such as “Gotham”, “Fosse/Verdon”, and “The King of Staten Island”, to name a few, before turning her attention to producing independent films.  She is also currently on the New York board of the Junior Hollywood Radio & Television Society.  

DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Mapi Bartolome is a Brooklyn-based Cinematographer and multidisciplinary creative. She started shooting at an early age, using her parents’ camcorder to bring her favorite pirate novels to life. But, it wasn’t until much later in life that she decided to turn her childhood obsession into a career. 

Born in New Jersey to Spanish and Cuban parents, Mapi was raised in Guatemala and later moved to Spain to study Graphic Design and work in advertising. A Madison Avenue job brought her to NYC, where she rediscovered her passion for filmmaking and left a decade-long career in advertising behind to train under Piero Basso at the New York Film Academy. Mapi is constantly exploring new visual techniques by drawing from her diverse roots and creative professional background, as well as from the inspiration she finds in learning about different cultures.
