His latest as writer/director, The Baby Whisperer, premiered at Screamfest LA in 2017 and Flickerfest in 2018 before hitting the festival circuit and screening internationally. His feature documentary Fantome Island, which explored the history of an Indigenous leprosarium off the North Queensland coast, premiered at The Brisbane International Film Festival and won Best Australian Film at the Human Rights, Arts and Film Festival. It screens regularly on NITV and is frequently streamable via SBS On Demand. 

​

When it comes to photography Sean embraces his filmmaking instincts, always striving to layer story, personality, composition and a point of view into each frame.

​

Sean also shares his wealth of experience at the Griffith University Film School, lecturing in directing, and supervising and mentoring film productions from script development through to post-production.

Sean’s work has always been driven by story and the most creative, effective way to communicate an emotional energy to an audience hungry to feel something. He infuses his work with a distinct visual identity, wonderful story insights and when possible a sly sense of humour.
