Emma Needell grew up on a solar-powered cattle ranch in rural Colorado. She didn鈥檛 have cable television, but thanks to her cinephile parents, she had a robust collection of films to watch. Now, Needell is a writer-director-producer who champions original storytelling.
Her talent caught the attention of Oprah Winfrey, who came on to produce her Blacklist script The Water Man when Needell was 24. The Water Man had its world premiere at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival
