Shina Fly is a filmmaker, TV producer, and presenter currently based in Australia. In 2021 she wrote/directed “The Presence of time”. A surrealist short film about a girl traveling through different times of her life and finding out new surprising events in each era.
In 2022, she was selected by Endemol Shine Australia as a film student to join their crew as director’s attachment for a Stan TV series called "Bali 2002”. That experience helped her to develop her directing and AD skills further and motivated her to start writing her next short film. She then directed/produced her arthouse short called “Familiar Nightmares” about a girl who is using art and therapies to deal with a life changing trauma.
