Biography

When Sean Carter received the Martin Scorsese Young Filmmaker’s Award in 2000, it boded for an impressive career to follow. Since then, he has played a crucial role in bringing memorable and terrifying works to the screen.

He recently completed work as the sole editor of The Killing Room, starring Timothy Hutton, Chloe Sevigny, and Peter Stormare, which received high acclaim at this year’s prestigious Sundance Film Festival. He also played an instrumental role aiding in the writing, directing, and editing of that director’s previous film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning for Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes, which went on to gross $18 million dollars in its
opening weekend.

As a director, Sean’s short film, Break, started as an official selection at the Hollywood Film Festival and received several awards thereafter for its gripping suspense. Sean’s NYU thesis film, The Surface, also won top honors at NYU’s First Run Festival, including nods for Best Director and Best Screenplay.

Now, having finished the feature length screenplay for Culebra, and filmed the prologue as a self-contained short film, Sean is ready to change the way people see vampires, and scare the pants off of them along the way.
