Introduce Yourself : Director/Fight Choreographer & Performer/Writer/Actress by Shayna-Raye Funderburk

Shayna-Raye Funderburk

Director/Fight Choreographer & Performer/Writer/Actress

Hello! I am a filmmaker based out of Nashville, TN & North Hollywood, CA. My works (short films, feature scripts, etc.) have been recognized by organizations such as the Burbank International Film Festival, Beverly Hills Film Festival, and Nashville Film Festival, among others.

The main genres that I write/create are comedies, action-adventure, animation, superhero (which seems to be a genre of its own), and family-friendly. I recently completed a new short "Sword, Skill, & Sorcery" which will be making its festival debut very soon. I love historical fencing, so I choreographing and performing in the sword-fight sequence for this short was a real treat!

If you want to check out some more of my content, you can find me on Instagram and TikTok under my username, "ThatShaynaChick". I look forward to connecting with you all!

Hi, Shayna-Raye Funderburk. Congrats on your success in the festivals. Was it difficult to learn historical fencing?

I love a good sword fight sequence. So much so that I wrote one into a dystopian script of mine, when other, more advanced weapons would have made more sense, just to have it LOL.
