Behind the Pines: Shayna Davis

Plus, an upcoming screening in Philly!

Boy, this winter is just flying by! Today, we’ve got the first installment in a series we’re calling Behind the Pines: guest posts written by members of the Pineys crew, giving their perspective on the teaser production and the project in general! Read on for a message from Shayna Davis, Pineys’ producer.

But first, an announcement! We’re delighted to let you know that on April 2nd, 2026, we will be screening Shayna’s previous feature, Rose Trimboli’s You Know What You Are, at Vox Populi in Philadelphia. We’ll also be showing the Pineys teaser on the big screen, plus Pineys makeup/SFX artist Elise Brady’s new short Detached (featuring teaser actress Bashira Bint Abu Yahya).

This screening will be a chance for us to celebrate the Pineys team and raise funds toward pre-production on the feature film. We hope you’ll join us! Hit this link for more information and to RSVP to the event.

And now, read on for a word from Shayna!
