Salut!

I'm Shelby Hagerdon and I am a producer and writer at Made By Things, an award-winning animation studio. I am also an independent filmmaker and screenwriter with many producing, directing, and writing credits across a multitude of projects. I have produced four features, all of which have gone on to win awards in directing, writing, and production.

I received my BAs in Film Production and Theory and in History from Wayne State College, where I also minored in Political Science and Geospatial Technology and graduated Magna Cum Laude with High Honors. I also hold an MFA in Writing for Film and Television from Emerson College, one of the top American film schools.
