Em Cooper
Grammy award-winning filmmaker
Em Cooper is an award-winning British filmmaker and animator celebrated for her distinctive "stream-of-consciousness" style, which she achieves by hand-painting individual film frames with oil paints. She reached a career milestone at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards in 2024, winning Best Music Video for her work on The Beatles' "I’m Only Sleeping," a project that required the creation of over 1,300 original oil paintings to capture the fluid transition between dreaming and wakefulness. A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Cooper has built a prestigious portfolio that includes an Emmy nomination for the documentary Deej, high-fashion collaborations with brands like Burberry and Prada, and recent animation sequences for the film Paddington in Peru.
