About 11 Stars Studios

Hello! My name is Sharee Silerio, and I’m the founder, CEO and executive producer of 11 Stars Studios LLC. As a screenwriter, director and producer, I focus on telling stories where Black women + girls exist as full human beings on screen and feel seen, heard, loved and affirmed beyond the screen.

I remember that one day, as a child, I sat on my parents’ bed, looking out of their backyard-facing window with the sun beaming in my eyes. It was a beautiful day, but one that also shed light on my inner sorrows.

Staring at the bright, blinding, yellow rays, I was praying, asking God to make my skin lighter. I grew up in a neighborhood where very few, if any people looked like me, so I often felt out of place. My feelings became even more intense after a classmate told me, “you’re ugly because you’re black.”

A quiet child, I held a lot in, so writing and watching movies, music videos and TV shows became my refuge. Expressing myself through poetry; recording myself lip syncing, dancing to music, and reciting monologues on the family camcorder; and directing films allowed me to be and see myself.

In college, my passions for writing and films merged when I enrolled in film studies courses and wrote my first screenplay.

In August 2020, I launched this film, television, digital and streaming production company to create projects connected to my purpose, such as my fourth short documentary film, "Black Girl, Bleu", a conversation with Black women about the Strong Black Woman myth and how it impacts the mental health challenges they’ve been through, face and have overcome.

In 2018, my short documentary The Mountains That Made Me was selected to screen at the 18th Annual St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase, and it was also invited to screen at the 27th Annual St. Louis International Film Festival as part of the Doc Shorts: Black Voices program.

Before becoming a director and filmmaker, I helped launch and produce two entertainment television programs for STL TV and executive produced and/or produced a digital series, narrative short, teen talk show, documentary feature and more for other networks and independent creators.

I have also received a master’s degree in media communications from Webster University in St. Louis, MO as well as a bachelor’s in communication and film studies certificate from St. Louis University.
