Hook: What do a nuclear submarine, a murder mystery, and a high definition camera have in common?
Well, me. I’m Shaun Hamilton.
Root: I grew up in an environment that fostered creativity and my parents owned a murder mystery dinner theater.
I helped direct, rehearse, write scripts, perform, and run sound for shows starting at 8 years old.
Working around such creative people my whole life has always pushed me to be innovative with my artistic vision.
I am inspired by the impact that a great film or a piece of music can have on an individual
I want to push the boundaries of my creativity to create emotionally charged and captivating art. I want to inspire people to make the changes within themselves that they wish to see in the world.
Brand Mantra: I create my own reality.

I work well with others. I have always been involved from the time I can remember in a lot of group and community activities. The Boys Scouts and the Navy taught me how to settle differences and work as a team to accomplish tasks.
