I dream for a living.
My survival depends upon the depth of my imagination and how weave the creative energy of others into a greater vision.
I love collaboration & most of all, I love awe.
For me, discovering filmmaking felt irreversible.
It became a lifelong devotion — not all at once, but slowly, frame by frame,
story by story.
Perhaps that's because storytelling is one of
THE MOST powerful tools we have as humans.
Whether we know it or not, we are all at different points of
realizing how STORY rules the way we see the world...
It's a powerful time to pick up a camera & stitch together a dream.
Over the next year, I'll be teaching filmmaking through my new venture,
The Storytellers Way & will continue to craft my films on the road...
from poems to paintings to the silver screen.
Ultimately, I wish to inspire a more conscious &
connected human experience through my imagery.
I hope to amplify voices unheard & stories untold & to give a voice to the visionary generation I was born into. After all, a good lens shows us that anything & everything is filled with beauty & light.
peace & love, SHANNON
