Emily Mayer, 2004

 Executive Vice President, B17 Entertainment

“Being a film and media studies major at Hopkins was a huge differentiator for me when moving out to LA to work in television. Agencies, networks, and production companies knew of the intellectual prowess of the school and it was Professor Mark Friedman who helped me to get my first job through his own Hollywood agent. Close production work with Professor Mann and analytical writing and reasoning with Professor DeLibero helped me to excel in such a creative business. There’s simply no replacement for being given the chance to cut actual 16mm film on a flat bed and tape it back together to tell a story.”

Emily started her career as an assistant at United Talent Agency. She then transitioned to development, working her way up the ranks at Fox Television Studios, 44 Blue Productions, Alchemy Television Group, and GRB Entertainment. In 2012, she joined Wilshire Studios as Vice President of Alternative Development. Emily was with Wilshire Studios for just over a year before moving to FishBowl Worldwide Media as Senior Vice President of Development. Emily spent three years at FishBowl before moving to her current position at B17 Entertainment.
