About Me


Emma Knaus is a Melbourne-based Creative Producer, Production Coordinator, photographer, videographer and filmmaker with over five years’ experience across broadcast television, branded content, commercial campaigns and independent film.


Her experience spans productions from concept through to delivery, with a strong background in coordinating crews, talent, schedules, budgets and stakeholders in fast-paced production environments. Alongside production, Emma works behind the camera across photography and video, bringing a strong visual discipline and a human, observational approach to her creative work.


As a filmmaker, Emma’s work centres on intimate, character-driven stories set within everyday urban life, often exploring moments of moral tension and the small but consequential choices people make. Her short film Side Hustle, which she wrote, directed and produced, was shortlisted for Tropfest 2026 and is a nominee at the New York Independent Cinema Awards.


Emma is passionate about creating high-quality, character-driven content and building lasting professional relationships across the screen and creative industries.
