Biography

A native Texan, Shalene has always been highly creative, engaging in drawing, painting, singing, dancing, writing, and acting. She describes herself primarily as a businessperson with a strong creative side, having written numerous business plans, managed mortgage companies, and negotiated significant financial deals.

Her film career began unexpectedly at age 36. While taking her mother, Sammie, to a doctor’s appointment, Sammie suggested Shalene try producing movies. After a brief moment of consideration, Shalene eagerly embraced the idea. She named her company SamiLu Production, inspired by her mother’s artistic signature, and they joke that if she becomes wildly successful, Sammie gets all the credit—and if she fails, Sammie still takes the blame.

Because Shalene visualizes her writing so vividly, it was natural for her to move into directing. The transition was seamless, and she absolutely loves it. She explains that as a storyteller at heart, film offers her a rich array of tools to bring her stories to life.
