Shawn Hazelett
Shawn Hazelett is an Emmy Award-winning director, producer, and writer.
He most recently was lead producer and co-writer of MINTED, a feature documentary charting the tumultuous NFT market from 2021 to 2023, and explores the age-old struggle of art and commerce. The film premiered at 2023's Tribeca Film Festival and will have its international premiere at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen in March 2024.
Originally from the rustbelt, Shawn is particularly inspired to champion stories and individuals who are typically disregarded, forgotten, and overlooked around the globe, having filmed across 4 continents and 23 countries. His work has been supported by Film Independent and UnionDocs, and has been featured in Bloomberg, VICE, The New Yorker, Al Jazeera, Disney+, and TED, among others. As a commercial filmmaker, he has produced work for Fortune 500 companies (Walmart, Meta/Facebook, Microsoft) as well as nonprofit organizations and political campaigns (Veterans Affairs, Equal Justice Works, Simons Foundation, Joe Biden's 2020 Presidential campaign).
Shawn currently resides in Brooklyn, NY (but remains a passionate Cleveland sports fan). He is an alumnus of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.
