In the early 2000's Emile was enrolled in the Military as a British Marine Commander - soon thereafter by luck he ran into a mutual friend who introduced him to film-making, he then traded his AK for a $900 camera on Ebay and documented two war films with Armenia and Azerbaijan soon to be his third.

We spoke about his experience in the battlegrounds in Armenia, the emotional stories while meeting the families of fallen soldiers, some of his own personal stories, his favorite Armenian dish and more.
