Shannon Purser Instagram – We wrapped my short film Sisters last week and I could not be more grateful to each and every member of our cast and crew for making my directorial debut so fulfilling, exciting, seamless, and FUN.
The script was something I wrote on a whim several years ago. I never forgot about it, but didn’t think I’d have the support to make it. The first hurdle was believing in myself enough to share it, but I did and I’m so glad it was with my friend and hero @chelseastardust, who immediately championed and believed in me and the story. I said “Is it crazy if I wanna direct it?” and she said “no???” What a powerhouse. She works harder than basically anyone I’ve ever met. The movie could not exist without her.
Things really fell into place when the amazing @mkbecker joined as our DP. This movie looks so beautiful already because of her. Her expertise and steady, grounded kindness were such a gift.
I’ve spent a good amount of time on set as an actor but I’ve never appreciated the dance of filmmaking and the impact of every single department like I did making this movie. Torrential rain and time crunches were no match for us! I’m so proud. I can’t wait to piece this movie together and share it with you all and celebrate everyone who made it. I could write essays about everyone involved, but I’m gonna shut up now🤍🎬 | Posted on 27/Nov/2025 10:15:42
