My name is Emily Weir, but most people just call me “M”. In college, I built a bit of a reputation for not taking the crap that Hollywood likes to throw at you, so my college friends like to say that when you have a mountain of baloney to sift through, you “Dial M for Murder” and it kinda stuck. Who doesn’t love a good Hitchcock movie, right?

I dream of nothing but animated characters jumping around on fields of clouds! I have always wanted to be part of the filmmaking business and since I was little have been a fan of cartoons, most especially Scooby-Doo and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. My family has had a few generations of Great Danes, so that’s where my love of the titular character for Scooby Doo started.

I went to college for film in my hometown of St. Louis, MO but after I graduated, I decided that if I wanted to do anything with film, I had to make it out to Los Angeles. So, I took almost every production assistant job that I could find in St. Louis and started to carve my way into the business. My college best friend and I made it to the big city with all the big lights towards the end of 2019. We found a third roommate and all three of us had to wait tables, do Uber, fast food, whatever it took to get to work in the film industry. And we sort of made it!

I now work for Warner Bros. Animation as a casting assistant working on various films utilizing performance capture and motion capture technology to create animated films.
