Hello, I'm Emma Robinson, I'm a produceer, director, writer and photographer with more than twenty-five years' experience across all aspects of film, television and theatre production. An acting graduate of Toi Whakaari: New Zealand Drama School, I began my career in theatre before moving behind the scenes as an assistant director and production manager. In the early 2000's I started working as a reporter/director for Gibson Group on No. 8 Wired and Frontseat.
Since then my company, EJR Productions, has produced a wide range of factual content for government departments, NGOs and the private sector including E Tū Whānau, Breast Cancer Aotearoa Coalition, Ministry of Social Development, Barnados NZ, Save the Children (NZ), Enable NZ and Resolution Institute.
Over the past five years, I've had the pleasure of working with Gibson International directing multimedia content for museums and visitor centres including Texas Seaport Museum's Ship to Shore and Juneteenth exhibitions; Shockwave for MTG Hawkes Bay, Hall of Champions at Cambridge Stud Heritage Centre; Curio Guide for Curiospace and Punangairi Visitor Experience Centre. Currently Gibson International is producing the visitor experience for Te Unua Museum of Southland and Texas Seaport Museum's new exhibition Pirates of Galveston! and I've joined the team to create audio visual content.

My short fiction has been published in literary journals in NZ and the USA including Headland, The Cortland Review, Quibble, Turbine | Kapohau. I completed a Masters in Creative Writing at the International Institute of Modern Letters (Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington) in 2022, receiving an IIML project scholarship to continue work on my manuscript. Linking my passion for words and pictures, I've often taken complemenatry photographs which have been published alongside my writing in Cloud Ink, Headland and Phantom Billstickers' Café Reader.
Headshots and promotional photographs for actors and musicians have been printed in The Post, NZ Herald, The Listener and other news outlets.
This year, I returned to the theatre, producing children's book author/illustrator Ruth Paul's first play which brings her beloved characters to the stage. HELP! A Monster Ate My Story ran from Tuesday 7 April - Sunday 19 April at Circa Theatre. Check out the theme song single and video by Charlotte Yates here and watch the trailer below.
