Fresh Meadows, NY November 10, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Candace C. Singh of Fresh Meadows, New York, has been named a Top Professional by P.O.W.E.R. (Professional Organization of Women of Excellence Recognized). Honored for her significant contributions to the entertainment industry, Singh is featured in a full-page article in the fall 2026 issue of P.O.W.E.R. Magazine.
About Candace C. Singh
Candace C. Singh is a New York-based filmmaker and founder of Emerald Tree Filmworks, a production company dedicated to telling stories about family, culture, and modern adulthood. Before pursuing her passion for filmmaking, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in finance and economics from New York University and spent more than a decade working in finance at some of Wall Street’s leading institutions.
During her tenure at Goldman Sachs, Singh advanced from analyst to associate to vice president in consecutive years. She later joined JPMorgan Chase, where she conducted due diligence on alternative investments. Her experience in finance helped her develop strong analytical, leadership, and decision-making skills that she now applies to her creative endeavors.
Singh’s interest in filmmaking took on greater significance following the loss of her grandmother during the COVID-19 pandemic. The experience ignited her quest to preserve family traditions, personal histories, and cultural heritage. Raised in Queens, New York, by parents who immigrated from Guyana, Singh wanted to share stories that reflected her upbringing and the family relationships she felt were often overlooked in mainstream entertainment.
In 2021, Singh left Goldman Sachs to establish Emerald Tree Filmworks and pursue writing, directing, and producing. She subsequently returned to the financial industry, joining JPMorgan Chase while continuing to develop her filmmaking career. While there, she wrote, directed, produced, and acted in her first professional short film, “Once a Man, Twice a Child.” The dark comedy draws inspiration from her personal experiences accompanying her father to medical appointments and navigating the role reversal that often occurs as parents age.
Throughout her corporate career, Singh worked with colleagues across Europe and Asia and discovered that many faced similar family obligations while balancing demanding professional lives. That discovery reinforced her desire to challenge conventional perceptions of independence and highlight family dynamics in which adult children remain closely involved in caring for their parents.
To help ground the film in her lived-in experience, Singh cast her father and uncle as brothers and portrayed the daughter herself. She spent months conducting improvisational sessions with them to capture their natural chemistry and incorporate their personalities into the production.
In March 2026, Singh made the decision to leave the corporate world completely and devote herself entirely to filmmaking. Today, she focuses on directing, producing, screenwriting, and content creation. Through Emerald Tree Filmworks, she aims to broaden the representation of diverse family structures, celebrate cultural identity, and address meaningful subject matter through storytelling and dark humor.
Singh is currently submitting “Once a Man, Twice a Child” to international film festivals while developing a feature-length project that builds upon the short film's world of characters. Audiences can follow her filmmaking projects and creative journey on Instagram (@emeraldtreefilmworks), YouTube (@candacesingh_emeraldtree), and TikTok (@candacesingh_emeraldtree).
