About Shawn Bowman

Los Angeles Times, April 2005 -
“intolerance for commercial pap is compelling parents like Bowman to seek and in some cases organize screenings of independent film options for their kids. These labors of love are born of desperation and disappointments…"what we’re doing here isn’t necessarily of national importance, but at the same time, what we’re doing is happening all over the country. There’s a culture demanding a certain level of film."

Shawn Bowman’s introduction to the film world was through the scrappy and demanding job of a production assistant in NYC, cutting her teeth on dozens of features, music videos and commercials. As a location manager and production coordinator, Bowman worked for prominent directors Griffin Dunne, Fisher Stephens and Spike Jones on independent feature film projects.

She has five years experience teaching production and media literacy to at-risk kids in film enrichment programs.

For the last three years Bowman has hosted international film festivals bringing remarkable world class cinema to young people in her community. She holds a BFA in film production from the University of Colorado.

Shawn is the curator for the Lil Longbaugh film festival. To see the line up visit http://www.longbaugh.com/
