Biography
In 2003, Shaun Greenspan graduated from Columbia College Hollywood in Los Angeles, and worked hundreds of days as a production assistant on such shows as "E.R"., "The West Wing", "Six Feet Under", "Nip Tuck", "Mad Men", and "Big Love", and movies "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Where the Wild Things Are." During 11 years in Los Angeles, Shaun created TriForce Pictures, producing high-quality short films, music videos, and commercials; TriForce produced the highly awarded short "The Job" and the Snoop Dogg music video "Candy." In 2011, Shaun's short film "The Breakup" was featured at the Sarasota Film Festival. Shortly afterward, the Sarasota Film Festival chose TriForce pictures as its exclusive filmmakers to create television commercials, web content, and a film trailer that all played before every film. In conjunction with House of John Productions, and the Ringling Media Lab, in 2014, TriForce produced a feature film called "Paradise, FL." In 2015, Shaun was invited to teach filmmaking, production, and screenwriting to International Baccalaureate students at Riverview High school. He taught a year-long course at the very school he graduated from almost 20 years earlier. Also in 2015, TriForce in conjunction with the Shoah Foundation and the Florida Holocaust Musuem, video recorded and interviewed ten local holocaust survivors. 2017, in collaboration with the Sarasota Film Festival, SRQ Vets, and Project Rebirth, TriForce launched a project to teach local military veterans documentary filmmaking and to ultimately shoot a film. After the five month workshop, the finished film, a 25-minute documentary called "Returning," was a huge success, and held a sold out premiere at The Sarasota Opera House during the 2017 Sarasota Film Festival. April of 2018, Shaun had the pleasure to work with Fred Berner and Alan Zweibel on their short film "Still Happy." On any given day, you can find Shaun developing stories and raising financing for features.
