About Me
About
Shannon Morrall is a genre filmmaker based in Los Angeles, pursuing her MFA in Film Production from USC. She most recently served as lead producer on Europa, a virtual production filmed on the LED Volume at Sony Pictures Studios, in collaboration with Oscar-Winning Pixomondo and the Entertainment Technology Center. Her stories tend to explore human connection, joy, and play, often through the escapism of grand adventure genres. As such, she is passionate about virtual production and using technology to tell stories that are out-of-this-world.
