Washington Square Park, Manhattan - Headshots of Emebeit

Emebeit originally auditioned for the role of Donna in my film, Mozart of Rap, but we met up again to do some headshots last week! It was a great day because since the sun was out, we had a ton of options for locations and great ways to use the light for beautiful pictures.

Emebeit Beyene is from Philadelphia and is currently residing in New York City. She is a 2010 graduate of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts where she studied at Stonestreet Studios and at the Experimental Theater Wing. During her time at ETW, she was seen in the mainstage production of Oliver! She also created a short one-woman piece, inspired by her experiences traveling, addressing her identity as an Ethiopian-American. She believes that traveling and gaining new perspectives is a key to becoming a better artist and person. She recently wrapped shooting the short film "Their Eyes Were Watching Gummy Bears", which is her first professional film right out of college, and is currently shooting a webseries developed by herself and fellow Tisch colleagues. Emebeit has worked with mentor Kamilah Forbes as assistant stage manager for Hip Hop Theater Festival's production of Ben Snyder's Rock, Paper, Scissors. She starred in the short film Saturday Morning Blues which was recently featured in the Urbanworld Film Festival and the Slam Dance Festival.
