artist statement

A dramedy steeped in magical realism, NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY uses humor to explore the universal human need to feel seen.

Emily Everhard is a queer writer, director and actress who tells stories about female underdogs and outsiders. Emily pulls from her documentary fieldwork and under-appreciated historical moments to craft unique narratives set within subcultures and niche communities. She often uses humor to explore body autonomy, identity, and love.
