SHAWN S. LEALOS

Shawn Lealos is one of the co-founders of Starving Dogs Productions. He started the company with Rob McIlrath in 2000, following his completion of a Bachelor's Degree in Professional Writing from The Gaylord School of Journalism at the University of Oklahoma. While continuing his education and working towards a second degree in Film and Video Studies, he and Rob decided to give film making a try.

Shawn's first screenplay would turn out to be the catalyst that would introduce Starving Dogs Productions to the world. That screenplay, an adaptation of the Stephen King short story I Know What You Need would be filmed as part of King's Dollar Baby program, created to give student filmmakers a chance to get their names out there. Shawn did everything in his power to do just that.

Using Stephen King's name, Shawn networked until a number of worldwide websites were promoting Starving Dogs work and thanks to his work in this area, Starving Dogs Productions' films has been seen in countries such as The Netherlands and Argentina as well as King's home town of Bangor, Maine.
Shawn has written, directed or produced all Starving Dogs films and is working hard to create The Starving Dog Show as well as preparing to put his next two scripts into development stages.

Shawn also writes for two web sites (CHUD.COM and 411MANIA.COM) and you can read all his work at his personal website (SHAWNLEALOS.COM).
