Producing Team:

Emily Calhoun is the Writer and Director of The Last Glimmer. Emily is a Jill-of-many-trades, with eight years of experience working on documentary, investigative, and unscripted programming, most recently as Associate Producer for We Break Things, a documentary about hackers. Five years ago, she quit her job as the Research Director of a think tank, picked up a video camera, and started making her own motion pictures. She writes, ghost- writes, edits and proofreads words; produces and edits video; and serves as a creative consultant for artists and artisans. From PBS docs to Hollywood features, Emily has played many roles in production, but The Last Glimmer is Emily’s debut as a narrative-format producer and director.

Jennifer Sorika Horng will head up Casting. Jenn is an accomplished SAG actor and writer from Quebec City, home of the poutine.

Jenn also just finished writing a web series for Billy Boy Enterprises, where she is a contributing blogger, and is a writer for Kroma Mag. A graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy's Studio Program, Jenn has also honed her skills at the MTB Studio, and in workshops with prominent casting directors such as Jennifer Rudolph at the Actors Green Room, Brette Goldstein and Geoffrey Soffer.

Sarah Dryden will run Production Design. Sarah has been involved in film and TV production for many years, beginning as an assistant on Paramount Pictures’ Drillbit Taylor and then as an actor in films, music videos, and web series. She ultimately found her niche in the Art Department, where she can combine her love of film production with myriad creative skills and a savvy sense of design. Most recently, she was Art Director for the web series Rom-Con; Set Decorator for a Professor Possessor music video; and she is currently Set Dressing an AFI film. Sarah studied at Towson University in Maryland; the Academy of Art in San Francisco; and the Beverly Hills Playhouse Acting School in Los Angeles.
