From the mind of writer, director, and producer Emily Erhart comes a world of visual storytelling rooted deeply in imagination and the philosophy of life:

"There is something splendid about innocence; but what is bad about it, in turn, is that it cannot protect itself very well and is easily seduced." - Kant

"We all carry within us our places of exile, our crimes, our ravages. Our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to transform them in ourselves and others." -Camus

Within us all lies places of both light and dark. Connected by a common thread of memory, innocence, and reality, Emily ‘Skeletal’ Erhart’s work is inspired by the connection between the philosophy of the human mind and the world around it. The wisdom and maturity that came from her great-grandmother's influence in her early years paired with an interest in the ancient worlds, both historically and in the arts, lead to the sculpting of an internalized monologue with the world around her at a young age. A sense of wonder and a reflection of innocence has always been a reoccurring psychological theme for her and her work. As an adult, she draws from these childhood memories, both innocent and the loss of, juxtaposes them with the reality of adulthood, and injects these thematic images into her films. Erhart’s thesis film Days of Dust is a short, poetic narrative heavily influenced by relationships she has witnessed throughout her life: the relationship between lovers in various stages, between ourselves and our memories, between our bodies and their senses. The illusion of who we are outwardly and who we are inward are both themes also present in her work. Inspired by writer/director Terrence Malick and philosophical thinkers such as Kant, Camus, Hegel, Thoreau, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emily Erhart continues to work within the realm of the journey of the human mind and soul in its relationship and connectedness to the world around us all.
