Director Biography - Shaynelle Francis

Growing up in a small Vermont town, Shaynelle was always the shy child with a crazy imagination. She spent most of her time going on outdoor adventures, watching movies, and crafting. As she matured she found her way to the world of show business and never looked back. What attracts her to show business the most is the idea of stepping out of reality and entering the world of imagination and creativity. Shaynelle is usually found within the Special Effects and Art Departments. However, every so often she feels inspired to write and direct some of the wild ideas she has.

That being said. The Torture Tapes is born!
