The daughter of pioneering animators Faith and John Hubley, Emily Hubley has been making hand-drawn animated shorts for more than thirty years that explore personal memory and the turbulence of emotional life. Among Hubley's shorts are Octave, Pigeon Within, Her Grandmother's Gift (in collaboration with her mother, Faith), The Tower (in collaboration with her sister, Georgia), and Delivery Man. Her 2012 short and/or, has screened at numerous festivals including the San Francisco International Film Festival, Rooftop Films, animation festivals in Poland and Hiroshima, and the Black Maria Film Festival.

In 2010, she completed a series of animated pieces for Motherhood: Out Loud, a new play presented at Hartford Stage.

Her company, Hubbub Inc., also created short-form series for both Nickelodeon and Lifetime.
Hubley’s 2008 feature film, The Toe Tactic, screened at numerous prestigious film festivals including SXSW, New Directors/New Films and the San Francisco and the Rio de Janiero International Film Festival prior to its premiere at the Museum of Modern Art in January 2009.
