About Emily Bernard
Emily Bernard is a NJ based Features Editor and Peer Mentor for Collider who studied History, Playwriting, and English at the University of Scranton. She’s a proud comedy nerd who loves getting into the nitty gritty of a joke and how it came to be, and she's interviewed a number of comedians, including Tig Notaro, John Early, Julio Torres, and Saturday Night Live’s Please Don’t Destroy. Her words have been recognized by a number of other famous folks, including director and composer Michael Giacchino, Sarah Sherman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Melanie Lynskey, and Judy freaking Greer.
She’s also a screenwriter & playwright, and her scripts have placed in several festivals, including the Nashville Film Festival and the Big Apple Film Festival. She hopes that one day a fancy producer person will be interested in her work. When Emily's not writing her own stuff, she’s overthinking her coffee order, listening to podcasts (#Armcherry #PoogHag), catching up on movies and TV, and feeling guilty that she’s not writing. Emily’s not totally sure how she feels about this whole "writing in the third person" thing, but it sounds more professional, so she's going to stick with it.
TV she digs: Portlandia, Late Night with Seth Meyers, What We Do in the Shadows, Hacks, Platonic, Stranger Things, Killing Eve, The Walking Dead
Movies she digs: Joker, Shiva Baby, Ride the Eagle, The Fundamentals of Caring, Pitch Perfect, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy
