Director Biography - Shawn Carlstrom

I began video production as young as 12 years old, doing little video projects with my friends. As I've gotten older, my passion for film has become more realized and it has grown into a genuine passion. Writing, directing, and visualizing what plays out on screen are my lifeline. Creativity is the escape, the source of happiness and ambition, the inspiration keeps my world turning.
