About Shawna

Shawna Khorasani is an independent filmmaker who loves telling queer feel-good stories. She considers herself passionate about positive and accurate LGBTQ+ media representation, and strives to deliver that in her works.

Shawna graduated with two English Literature degrees, but discovered her passion for film and story-telling in her last year of college. She adapted, wrote, produced, and directed a modern literary webseries based on Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac. From there, she dedicated herself to learning everything she could about the film industry. From taking classes to working on sets to networking and making connections, Shawna loved every second of it. Her award-winning lesbian romcom LoverGirl was a major hit in film festivals during 2020. Shawna’s new romance short Popping the Question premiered on various streaming platforms in summer of 2021. Original and unique stories about women, the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, and other marginalized groups inspire her to keep telling them.
