Shawn Deninger

Shawn is a sophomore in UNCSA’s film department with an emphasis in directing/writing, and is thrilled to be an ambassador this school year! From San Diego California, Shawn grew up in the local theater community before pursuing filmmaking as a teenager. He’s excited to see you around campus!

Why did you want to become an Ambassador?

What made me want to become an ambassador was the incredible support that last year’s team gave my freshman class. Coming from the other side of the country, I was extremely overwhelmed in a brand new community and state. But, the advice and helping hands the ambassadors offered made me feel right at home - and I want to help pay it forward.

What is your fondest memory on campus and why?

My fondest memory on campus has to be the end of the year film screenings in May. It’s an amazing week where the entire department and campus come together to see the incredible pieces so many students have worked on all year - It’s magic in that theater every single night of the event.
