Tea Talks With Tomeka

Em Cole speaks with Tomeka Winborne on this episode of Tea Talks with Tomeka. Em shares her journey in filmmaking. Additionally, Em shares a really personal story that led her to be a feminist.  Emerging director, photographer, and interactive artist Em Cole works at the intersection of art, technology, and feminism. In direct response to the ‘stiff upper lip’ mentality of her British background, her often satirical filmmaking is a collage of hyper-realistic production design, optical illusions, and narrative reveals -- all confidently assembled with a sure hand and a decidedly retro feel. Her most notable pieces include the live-action and animated short film / AR installation “I’m Your Venus,” a modern-day twist and critique on female objectification, as well as Instagram’s global #InstaGiftGuide campaign, which brought to life some of the most popular hashtags trending on social media. The latter was shot entirely in a vertical video format and featured on Good Morning America. www.1stavemachine.com emcole
