More About Emma

I like to think of myself as a swiss army knife of a creative. Since the time I was a little girl, I moved at a million miles per hour with a zest for collaboration.

Daughter of writer, Joel Steiger (MATLOCK, PERRY MASON, DIAGNOSIS: MURDER), my artistic spirit has manifested a life in acting, writing, directing, and producing. I fell in love with performing from watching Dick Van Dyke perform as I ran around the set of DIAGNOSIS: MURDER and quickly found my voice as a writer, drafting up whatever wild fantasies were spinning around in my head. When my father passed away in 2021 I found my footing as a producer, bringing to life a proof of concept for his last written work, RUNAWAYS.

I am artist dedicated to helping other artists. I currently work as a Junior Executive at Billy Magnussen's production company, HappyBad Bungalow, while pursuing my own independent artistic career.

Here are some select projects I’m currently working on (bullet points are more accessible, after all):

  • If you like RomComDrams than I’m your gal. Ask me about my feature, And/Yet. I am delighted to have the incredibly Nora Fiffer onboard to direct and am currently looking for producing partners to make this dream a reality.

  • Wait To Tell Mother, my film directorial debut, had it’s World Premiere at Dances With Films: NY in December 2024. We won the audience award at Nitehawk Shorts in April of 2025 and are thrilled to be having such a successful festival run. For info on upcoming screenings, please visit the Wait To Tell Mother page.

  • I’m currently in pre-production for a number of independent producing projects. I’m always looking to meet new collaborators so feel free to reach out if you’re looking for your next gig!

  • Sunshine Girls, a feature I co-starred in, will be premiering this coming August 2025 at Defy Film Festival.

  • We’re about to wrap production on the first season of The Normal MFers - an animated series I’m voicing the lead in.

AND THERE’S MORE (but that requires an actual human to human conversation)! So, thank you for visiting my site! I hope to be in touch with you soon in whatever creative capacity you have in mind.
