Dawn Cowings isn't sure when her love for film started but 1977 – the summer she saw "Star Wars" over two hundred times – is a pretty good guess.  Her father, himself a sci-fi fan, made sure she also had a good grounding in classic "Star Trek".

Dawn graduated Iowa State University with a BA in television and film but creative endeavors were put on hold as the need to pay rent took priority. Fast forward to 2002, when husband Shane Felux challenged her to "live the dream" and write a short "Star Wars" fan film for him to direct.  "Short" grew "long" and creating "Star Wars: Revelations" became an incredible experience beyond anything they could have imagined.  The wildly popular 47-minute film rekindled Dawn's love of film and stretched her to her limits: in addition to writing, producing, and co-directing, she also served as costumer, caterer, and more.

Since then, there's been no looking back.  Dawn collaborated with Shane and X-ile Pictures on the award winning “Pitching Lucas” as well as co-writing the upcoming internet series “Trenches”.  She's looking forward to working with the crew of Farragut Films and sharing her talents with them on many exciting projects.

Dawn Cowings lives in Bristow, Virginia with her actor/director husband Shane Felux and their three sons, all of whom think it's perfectly normal to be babysat by Imperial Stormtroopers and that everyone knows Darth Vader personally.
