Sound Recording for film - and also making films - that's what Emily Strong has been doing.

How does one get into either of these fields? What does a doc sound person have in their gear kit? Come with your questions and hear from this sound recordist/filmmaker.

EMILY STRONG is an award winning documentary filmmaker and Emmy-nominated location sound mixer committed to collaborating on authentic stories from diverse perspectives that foster civil discourse, connection, and express humanity through artful storytelling. Emily was honored as a DOC NYC 40 Under 40 in 2020. In 2025 she premiered her directing debut, Tasting Heritage, at the LA Asian Pacific Film Festival.
