Sean Lahiff

Spent years in dark editing rooms, eyes glued to footage, piecing together stories that swing from gritty crime thrillers to off-kilter comedies. Honestly, nothing beats sculpting chaos into something people can actually sit through without cringing. I've had the wild luck of working with some absolute legends—think Oscar winners, cult icons, you know, the kind of people whose faces you see on magazine covers or those weird retro posters in your friend's apartment. Some days, it's all car chases and explosions; other days, it's just awkward silences and people crying over coffee. A real mixed bag. My edits have somehow made their way around the world, popping up at festivals and in places I’ll probably never get to visit. Some got the nod from critics, some just made people laugh or gasp, and hey, I’ll take both. Then there’s directing—now that's a whole other beast. My latest short, “Smashed,” actually kicked off at the Berlin Film Festival. Big deal, right? It kept rolling through more than 20 international festivals, picking up awards like it was going out of style. There’s nothing quite like watching a scene you obsessed over for weeks play out on a big screen, knowing the mess and madness behind the curtain. Trust me, every frame’s got a story—and probably a few secrets I’m not telling.
