Sharonda Harris-Marshall (IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5074511/?ref_=nv_sr_1) is a Southern-bred independent filmmaker, photographer, and artist. A native of Mobile, Alabama, she is artistically inspired by the colorful, joie de vivre lifestyle and history of the Gulf Coast.
Sharonda graduated in 2008 from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts.

Later in 2015, Sharonda and Joe relocated to Omaha, Nebraska.
Sharonda has worked on several indie feature-length and film productions and is actively producing several projects, including Hail to the Queens, a New Orleans-based documentary, partially financed by CreateLouisiana and ITVS. She also produces independent music videos, one of which won the SouthSounds Music Video category of the South Alabama Film Festival in 2014.
Sharonda currently teaches photography and digital media at Southeast Community College. She is currently serving a 3-year term on the board for the Nebraska Film Association.
