KINDLED FILMS

My name is Tristan Shannon, and my passions are story-telling and filming! My philosophy not only in filmmaking but life in general is to be my most authentic self. I prioritize having a "person first" mindset. This allows me to see the people in front of the camera for who they are and to better tell their story. Everyone is different, and that's really the best part! I specialize in bringing out your "you-ness" and by doing so, your videos are uniquely yours through our story-telling approach to filming.
