Shawn Lovering is an independent filmmaker and photographer based in Toronto, Ontario.

Shawn’s penchant for unearthing the beautiful, the painful, and the raw, manifests in a body of work rich in cinematic aesthetics and honest, accessible narratives. With a focus on strong visuals and even greater stories, his collective experiences influence his work — namely his previous practice as a social worker, and studio background as a designer and Art Director.
