Shona’s multi-award winning film Seven first brought her to the attention of the advertising fraternity, featuring in the New Directors Showcase at Cannes. She was given her first break immediately afterwards by M&C Saatchi with a commercial for Whiskas.

In 2005 she completed her first feature, Dear Frankie which was enthusiastically received then distributed by Harvey Weinstein at Miramax. It received a ten-minute standing ovation in Cannes, featured at the Edinburgh Festival and the Toronto Film Festival and won the L.A. Audience Award.

Shona is currently developing several film projects but continues to direct commercials with the same passion and attention to detail. One of her more recent commercials for NSPCC has proved to be their most successful ever.
