Biography
Mason Shefa is an avant-garde filmmaker and sacred music composer based in Studio City, California. Born May 28, 1993, in the US, he graduated from Yale University in 2015 and has since built a practice grounded in analog film and liturgical composition. In 2016, Shefa published The First Book of Music: Containing Anthems, Motets, Hymn Tunes, Chants, and Services for the Various Seasons of the Church Year, a 248-page collection showcasing his approach to sacred choral work. His experimental films, shot on Super-8 and 16mm, have received widespread institutional recognition: in May 2011, a portfolio of eight experimental films won the National Gold Medal at the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, held at Carnegie Hall. His work has also been honored by the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts, the Los Angeles Film Festival (2009, 2011), USC's Los Angeles Student Film Institute, and the Lucca Film Festival, where he served as a judge in 2015. In September 2012, singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey obtained permission to incorporate Shefa's film Psalm 51 in her iTunes Festival concert in London. As a composer, Shefa works across sacred and liturgical genres, creating works designed for ensemble performance. Born under Gemini, Shefa embodies the sign's duality and communication drive; his Life Path 1 number suggests pioneering, independent vision across both film and music [F1, birth fact].
