EMay

Elizabeth May (EMay) is a queer multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker, designer, and theatre maker based in Brooklyn. With roots in the DIY theatre and music scenes of New York City, EMay built a creative practice defined by playful ingenuity and a deep curiosity about human behavior. Their work spans costume and production design, film, music, and original theatre—each project an exploration of storytelling through visual and emotional texture. EMay’s design and directing credits include collaborations across film, television, live performance, and commercial work. Their original theatre pieces, including Zodiac Math and Old Souls, have been staged across the U.S. and abroad, and their directorial debut short film Epinephrine marks a bold step into narrative filmmaking. Trained in theatre at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, EMay continues to blend performance, design, and direction into a singular creative language—one that celebrates character, craft, and the strange beauty of human stories.
