Shannon’s love for cinema originates from the whimsical wonderings of classics such as “The Wizard of Oz” and “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” and the melodic storytelling of “Crooklyn” and “Do The Right Thing.” Shannon uses these influences along with her background in social psychology to craft content that resonates with her audience in an intimately visceral way.
