Production company executive aims to turn area into content creation hub

A content engine is beginning to accelerate in Sarasota.

And one of the main behind-the-scene drivers is David Shapiro, owner of development and production company Semkhor Productions. Semkhor is collaborating with Sarasota’s Ringling College of Art and Design to give students the opportunity to work on real-life productions and bring more content creation to the area. The collaboration has already worked on web series with Dylan McDermott and Justin and Christian Long.
