i’m 22 years old. i am a senior film and theatre student at xavier university. some may know me as lily dennstaedt. lily is a nickname and dennstaedt is my last name. i chose to go back to my roots because of its simplicity. so hence why i’m calling myself emily grace.

ok. now about me: i love my family, my friends, my dog, sunflowers and timothée chalamet. i like music, driving with the windows down, late night talks, tattoos, and A24 is my favorite production house. i love california, breakfast food and like every other person: iced coffee.

i like to go to the movies, talk about movies, critique movies, and make movies, both in front of the camera and behind the camera.

i like the way movies make me think and feel. there’s nothing better than walking out of a movie speechless. being a film student has not only taught me how to create that same feeling but it has also taught me to appreciate all the work that goes into making your audience feel a certain way. learning the ins and outs of filmmaking has made me appreciate movies so much more.
