Shawna is an Emmy-winning director, lifelong creative who loves a true story and loves making films. After graduating from film school where she studied documentary production, she worked as a producer delivering weekly, short docs for a nation-wide conversation café. She would produce, direct and edit the weekly content, and after almost 3 years, she embarked on the opportunity of a lifetime: traveling the world for a 4-month doc series called Unreasonable at Sea.
Once she was back on dry land, she and her husband, Matt, started their company, Mass FX Media. With their expertise in non-fiction and their skills in motion design and animation, they created a company that serves films and series, finishing the story using graphics and visual effects.
Over a decade of running Mass FX has lead Shawna to the opportunity of continuing original content. She's currently producing an independent documentary series and producing and directing narrative feature film about the true story of Tracks Nightclub in Denver.
After winning a Heartland Emmy for Remembering Marty Chernoff, Shawna has been developing a feature film based on the true story of Tracks.
