"E"

Creator: Ember Crowley

"E"

Creator: Ember Crowley
"E" is the story of a young man who believes himself to be the reincarnation of Elvis Presley. His best friend, Virgil, supports "E"'s delusional perspective and even asks him how life was like back in the 70s. No one else believes that "E" is the reincarnation of the king, not even his new girlfriend he met at an exotic dance club, however, he still performs his heart out at a very small, unsensational venue. He performs his new music and although his comeback was less than lukewarm, it felt sensational to him. He's the king, afterall.

Behind The Paintbrush

Behind The Paintbrush

Creator: Ember Crowley
An artist talks about her healing journey through art while navigating a childhood consumed by abuse. In April 2023, she volunteered to donate a mural to a migrant center, founded by Dora Rodriguez who survived her own horrific journey crossing the border many years ago, just south of the border in Sasabe, Mexico. Sasabe is located within an area that has some of the highest numbers in human trafficking. The artist loved the frequent visits of a local boy who helped paint. Since around September, rival cartels took over the town and the population went from 2,500 to 20.

Heart’s Manifesto

Heart’s Manifesto

I decided to shoot this film in black and white in order to convey more neutrality. I wanted to capture the perspectives of young people falling in or out of love, first kisses (good or not-so-good), sex vs. love and are they equal? Love is anything but linear and quite often, they way relationships are approached can be heavily influenced by our early lives.

To Be A Modern Witch

To Be A Modern Witch

Creator: Ember Crowley
Witchcraft has always been a part of my since the day I was born. My mom practices as well as my sister and we are direct descendants of Rebecca Nurse, who was executed for witchcraft during the Salem witch trials. From what is known, she was simply an incredible healer. I wanted to destigmatize the negative associations with witchcraft as well as highlight other spiritual practices that would be considered Pagan. I interviewed women who practice Hoodoo, Wicca, Green Witchcraft and self-proclaimed Brujas.
