When I turned 40 I lived in Los Angeles and the phone calls for auditions as an actress literally stopped. I was working in the accounting department of a commercial production house at the time and watching what the producers did, I thought, … “I can do that”. I didn’t think I could do it there however and since it was time to come home to Oregon… I did … and in about a month I was a producer for an ad agency and did not have a clue what I was doing.

For my first project I hired a director and long time good friend who when we were out on the road shooting, I would take aside and say… “OK, what do I do now?” I would go back to the motel room each night and cry… but after a couple of weeks on the job I thought… this is a piece of cake… I can do this!!

And I have been doing it ever since. Sharon Knorr Productions started in 1990 … Selling hamburgers, athletic shoes and clothes, safe driving, safe boating and seat belts, great hospital care, exercise machines, say yes or no on different political measures and best of all telling stories on video of inspiring companies and individuals.

I am currently working a “day job” at Downstream and not available for story telling at the moment. But who knows what the future will bring.
