Kansas-born writer and filmmaker Shannan Keenan holds a BA in Communications with a minor in Theatre from Colorado State University. Hopelessly realizing that she would never be quarterback for the Denver Broncos, Shannan moved west to pursue her dream of filmmaking. Through her Los Angeles based production company, Just Hank Productions, Shannan wrote, directed, and produced the critically acclaimed independent feature "Loaves", the story of two bumbling cousins attempting an ill-fated murder plot. Film Threat called "Loaves", "A promising first feature, complete with believable, engaging (albeit dimwitted) characters." "Loaves" continues to screen at independent film venues across the country, most recently winning the Best Feature award at the Kansas International Film Festival in Kansas City.Shannan's screenplay "Randy", about a soul-searching Kansas dishwasher hitching to Stevie Ray Vaughan's funeral, has been spotlighted in several prominent screen-writing competitions, including placing in the top 20 of a competition sponsored by Filmmakers Magazine.Shannan's latest feature screen-writing effort, "Ramper", comically delves into the world of airline rampers as seen through the eyes of a middle-aged preacher's wife. "Ramper" was a finalist in several screen-writing competitions, including the Moondance International Film Festival.Shannan's current film project is the short film "Trail End", which she wrote, directed and produced. "Trail End" follows the poignant story of an ailing man and his old horse as they attempt their last ride across Kansas. "Trail End" received the prestigious Panavision Equipment Grant and was filmed entirely on location in Kansas with Emmy nominated actor Barry Corbin in the lead role. "Trail End" will debut on the 2007 festival circuit.
