Avid knitters Jennifer Simonic and Masey Kaplan had a shared experience: friends would ask them to finish blankets, sweaters, and other projects left undone by loved ones who passed away. They founded the Loose Ends Project, a nonprofit which connects volunteers with grieving families to finish and return the crochet, knitting, and textile work of lost loved ones. Over 11,000 people have volunteered as “finishers.”

Wa'ad: A Short Film for the Red Cross

Hi, I'm Shannon Wolfgang, mom of two and a native of Orlando. I have seen our beautiful city grow in many ways and have been able to experience various trends and cultures while capturing moments. I share our adventures of art, travel, food, and fun in the images I take while promoting the Central Florida area and beyond. It is fun experiencing some old yet new adventures within my children's eyes. After graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in Magazine Journalism, I realized I had a passion for storytelling, and I love to talk. I landed back in O-town and started a 10+ year career in print and digital media designing for various national magazine publications. During those years, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work overseas on a fashion magazine in a foreign language. After working a decade at the magazine company in Winter Park, I went out on my own as a freelancer, which included contract work for national brands and various agencies around Orlando.  One client turned full time for 3.5 years, but I went out on my own once again. This time was different, and we turned everything we knew into a business. I always wanted to help people, and this was a way I could artistically.

I am an Emmy winning video journalist and editor.  

I love to see what's on the other side of the wall. To hear words that shatter all preconceptions.  To find connection where all hope seems lost. I am gritty and I do whatever it takes to "get the shot."

I am humbled to be allowed into people's journeys of pain and courage, their intimate spaces, and their attempts to survive or build a better existence. This profession gives me a chance to share these experiences with the world, in an effort for us all to understand one another just a little bit more.  

I specialize in telling stories of social justice issues, people marginalized or misunderstood and the unknown. I have a talent for finding unusual angles and perspectives often overlooked.  

I am also very adventurous and I love stories that are difficult to get, climbing 100 feet into a tree or trekking through the wilderness.  I thrive off getting dirty and risk-taking.  

 I've created news pieces, profile pieces, long-form, human-centered, inspirational stories as well as promotional films and marketing videos.
