Sean Brown is an award-winning filmmaker from New Jersey. Since he was a child he made
short films and animations with an old camera used by his parents during their wedding night.

began to experiment with short films by making skits with his friends. He attended the School of
Visual Arts majoring in Directing and created his first few short films. Sean wanted to make

process and wanted to make similar works of art. Later in his career, he appreciated other works
such as “Warhammer” and “It's Such a Beautiful Day”. Sean is a freelance sound recordist and
editor, he enjoys working on sets and meeting new people. In his downtime, he likes to make
videos and plans on making at least one short film a year. Sean eventually wants to make a
documentary series about prehistoric life. For now, he is experimenting with a speculative

life. Later Sean will expand the project to include animations and eventually a book. He is also
working on his first animated narrative short. Sean has several other projects in the works but
