EMILY HAGINS: YOUNG MOVIE-MAKER
American teenager Emily Hagins was born in the
city of Philadelphia in the USA, but her family
moved to the city of Austin in Texas when she was
just a baby (1) She would often happily sit
through the same movies several times at her local
movie theater, including The Muppet Movie, which
she particularly enjoyed.
When she was in second grade at school, around the
age of seven, her classmates were already calling
her 'Movie Girl'. A few year later, after reading The
Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien for school, she became
inspired by the Lord of the Rings movies. This
was the point at which she decided she wanted to
make movies herself. (2)

suggested a useful contact for Emily, who she later
got in touch with.
Emily started her career at the age of just 11, by
producing several short movies and a documentary.
(3) This was due to his job in advertising.
However, although he guided her through what
needed to be done, he made sure he left all the
directing up to Emily.
This keen young movie-maker then went on to write
the script for a full-length movie called Pathogen,
and the filming of this took place in her home town
when she was just 12. (4)
Somehow she
managed to get everything done. Her efforts at
directing the movie won Emily a grant from the Austin
Film Society, which made it possible for her to turn
the results into a finished 68-minute movie. She was
the youngest ever person to receive the money
Emily went on to produce another full-length movie,
The Retelling, by the time she was 16. (5)
These include one called Coin Heist, a crime drama,
which received good reviews. Emily Hagins is
definitely a name to look out for in the future!
