Emily Evashevski grew up in a small town in the middle of nowhere in Michigan and, after finding out in college that working in film and television was a viable career option, moved to New York to give it a shot. After a series of years where she did just about every job in the film industry, she finally found my place in it as an assistant director, arranging and managing the complicated logistical plans that go into filming a movie or season of television. She spent most of my career (about 15 years) in New York City, but a few years ago ended up in Atlanta for a job and never left. She’s mostly worked on television shows in the last ten or so years of her career, including Orange is the New Black, First Kill, Madam Secretary, and High Maintenance.
