Emily Schooley

Emily Schooley is an up-and-coming Canadian film and theatre actress with over twelve years of improv experience, including two years of teaching improv to young people. She performs regularly in Toronto with the Impatient Theatre Company, as part of "The Streets of London."

Emily has appeared in a number of independent and mainstream commercials, shorts, and feature-length films. Her quirky portrayal of the Orange Girl earned a lot of attention at independent film festivals, and her sweetly vacant Pothead Girl boosted her TUFF entry "2 Bucks Short" to the top 10 of the festival. Most recently she has been working extensively in horror, playing the lead roles of Lori in "The Witching Hour", Thea/Pimp in "Black Eve", and Ivette in "One Week in Windchocombe". She also recently did voice work on a Canadian video game also featuring the voice talents of Anthony Stewart Head.

When she's not in front of a camera, Emily is likely off driving well above the speed limit, and/or dabbling with other crafty pursuits. A passionate photographer and urban explorer, she often takes photos of abandoned buildings; and gets into places not a lot of people get to see. Emily has had her photos published in calendars, and exhibited in galleries and coffee shops. And if all of that doesn't keep her active enough, Emily is also an avid writer. In her free time she writes fiction and poetry, and is still perfecting Mirai, a play begun during her travels in Japan. Occasionally, Emily can even be convinced to do some modeling for other photographers.

Currently, Emily resides in Toronto, ON, with her five cats and her two snakes.
