WHO WE ARE
Viridian Coast Studios works to serve emerging content creators by providing the resources
to take their scripts off the page and turn dreams into a reality.
Viridian is the brainchild of content creators Jim Mauro and Emm O'Connor. What started as a work friendship at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company Retail Shop in Times Square has since turned into a fully operational production company based in New York City.
Emm O'Connor | Co-Founder/Executive Producer is an actor, writer, and producer based in New York City. Hailing from Oxford, Pennsylvania, she moved to New York in 2011 to study Musical Theatre at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Following her studies at AMDA, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Multimedia Performing Arts from Lehman College in the Bronx. Emm successfully wrote, produced, and starred in her first pilot "Capital Advice" alongside Jim Mauro and Ashley Kate Adams of AKA Studio Productions in 2014 and toured the project throughout the 2015-2017 festival season. Additionally, Emm has worked as a Production and Script Intern for The Chew on ABC (Season 5) and as a Field, Production, and Post-Production Intern for Full Frontal with Samantha Bee (Season 4) on TBS. Recently, she worked as a Production Coordinator with ITN Productions for a new Oxygen series titled "Twisted Killers" debuting later this year. Emm's next series "Brewtown" is slated to debut in 2021 following the success of Viridian Coast Studios' recent pilot “Under the Influence”, where she served as Executive Producer. Currently, Emm is on staff for Sharp Entertainment as an Associate Producer with the series 90 Day Fiance: Pillow Talk.

Born and raised in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, he attended Brookdale Community College before enrolling in New York University’s Tisch Film Program in 2010, earning a BFA. His thesis film, The Exploration of Cole as Led by the Prepubescent Sandy, has won awards at several festivals and screened in the Short Film Corner at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014. While at NYU, he was a post-Production intern for Saturday Night Live and The Weinstein Company, the latter he worked for as an Assistant Editor for 2 1/2 years, working on dozens of films including "The Imitation Game", "The Hateful Eight", and "Big Eyes", as well as Broadway’s "Finding Neverland: The Musical". Since then, he has worked on "Patriots Day", "Rolling Stones: Stories From the Edge", "Robert Klein: Still Can’t Stop His Leg", "National Geographic: Explorer", and is currently on staff for Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.
