Emmanuil Morari

About the Director

Emmanuil is a first-generation immigrant filmmaker shaped by a childhood across Moldova, Ireland, and Canada. His voice lives where the real collides with the mythic – human stories infused with cathartic magic realism.

His work features several successful shorts like “She Lies Beautiful”, “Who’s a Good Boy”, “Hello Crazy”, and “Just 4 Kicks.” He has written over thirty shorts and multiple feature films.

A founding member of Take7 Productions, Emmanuil has produced and directed for brands including Red Bull, Jack Daniel’s and the NBA.

He also collaborates closely with indigenous communities, including documentary work with Benki Piyako of the Ashaninka and a Hawai’i series exploring traditional knowledge for modern sustainability.

His newest short, “You Let Me Live There”, finished principal photography this fall and is currently in post production – an intimate, award-minded drama that reflects his larger focus: work that merges emotional truth and cinematic scope.
