Allyson Sherlock

Allyson Sherlock is a longstanding member of the Emerson College community, first receiving an MA (2004) and then MFA (2011) from the Visual and Media Arts Department, and now as a Senior Affiliated Faculty member, where she has been teaching film editing and motion graphic design for the past 10 years.

Sherlock loves to share her passion for storytelling with her students, and aims to inspire her classes to see post-production techniques not as a means to an end, but as a never-ending well of creative possibilities. She has taught media production at several schools in the Boston area, and, in 2011, was honored with the Petra T. Shattuck Teaching Award of Excellence. Her own films have enjoyed both commercial and festival success, and she finds great joy in collaborating with other filmmakers as an editor and animator to help them achieve their own vision.
