Hollis Sherman-Pepe(I)

Hollis Sherman-Pepe, a twenty year film industry veteran whose work as a writer-director-producer is marked by acclaim. Born in sub-rural South Eastern Pennsylvania, Hollis enjoyed farm life and working as a carpenter for her father in her formative years. She graduated from University of The Arts, class of 2006, with a BFA in Acting, and moved from Philadelphia to Los Angeles to pursue her film career in 2007. There she founded her production company Farmer's Daughter Productions in 2015 and began creating award winning films as well as supporting other filmmakers. Known for her diverse portfolio spanning various genres, Hollis thrives on the creative nuances inherent in filmmaking. With a passion for weaving intricate narratives, she finds the journey of creation as gratifying as the final product. Even her most grounded of dramatic screenplays find the magic of fantasy and folk-lore woven into their fabric.

"I love adding layers - layers to the characters, to the themes, tucking golden eggs throughout the story and setting. The aim is always to create a film that the audience will walk away having both enjoyed the ride, and longing to return."
