Born in Canada, Shannon Kohli grew up primarily in Geneva, Switzerland, before returning to BC to pursue a career in filmmaking. While at UBC, she studied the many diverse aspects of filmmaking and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Film in 2002.

Shannon signed with Michael Kolodny at Kaplan Stahler Agency in LA for representation as a writer and director. She then went on to direct an episode of the TV series “THE MAGICIANS” for NBC/UCP/Syfy, which aired in January of 2018. Her career continued with an episode of “SHADOWHUNTERS” for Freeform/Netflix in March of 2018, and she is set to direct two more episodes of “THE MAGICIANS - SEASON 4” and an episode of the CW’s “SUPERGIRL”.

In addition to her work as an episodic director, Shannon recently completed her first feature, “ALL JOKING ASIDE”. The film, starring Brian Markinson, is a feel-good comedy about a young African American woman making her way through the world of stand-up comedy.

Her most recent gigs have found her directing hit Netflix series “YOU” and “DIRTY JOHN”, both shot in LA.

As a director, Shannon wants to focus on bringing to screen women’s lives, issues, and successes.
