Sienna Beckman
(she/they)
Co-Founder
Sienna Beckman is a queer producer based in London, committed to supporting female-identifying filmmakers and underrepresented storytellers around the world. Her passion is telling stories that reframe characters who take their perceived "flaws" and turn them into strengths. Also stories about identity that don't focus on the trauma of identifying a certain way (especially when it comes to gender identity and expression). She loves cuddling cats, aerial yoga and being near the water. Working in LA for 10 years, Sienna produced content for NBCUniversal, Scott Free Productions, Verizon go90, Esquire TV, Refinery29, Prettybird Entertainment, Astronauts Wanted, and Disney Maker Studios, among others. Her first short film BIRTHDAY BOY was executive produced by Jean-Marc Vallee (Director of Big Little Lies & WILD) and is now on HBO. Sienna was Head of Production for YouTube influencer Anna Akana (2.5M+ subscribers) where she produced over 30 scripted and sketch videos, totalling 12M+ views, and a 12-episode comedy series “Search Bar” with Fullscreen Media.
In London, Sienna was on the producing team of HETV series Queens of Mystery Season 2 with Sly Fox Productions and Acorn TV, and Reel One Entertainment’s feature film Live, Love, London. Emergence’s feature films INGRESS (sci-fi drama) and INHERITANCE (family drama) are available to stream on Amazon, Apple TV and Tubi. Sienna is a frequent mentor with different organizations, such as Global Girls UK, Girls Club, #StartWith8, and Group Effort Initiative. The Emerging Filmmakers Program truly brings together everything she cares about in this world - supporting women and gender expansive filmmakers, sharing knowledge, creating community, and building a world where anyone can have a sustainable creative career.
