Who Is Sean Ellis?
Sean Ellis was born in Brighton, England in 1970 and is 56 years old. Credited on films since 2007, as a director. The background, training and the roles that shaped the career.
Sean Ellis, born in 1970, is a notable British film director, writer, producer, and fashion photographer. With a distinguished career originating in 2001, Ellis holds claim to famous films such as Cashback (2004), The Broken (2008), the Tagalog-language film Metro Manila (2013), and Anthropoid (2016). In 2006, his remarkable talent was recognized when he was nominated for an Academy Award in the 'Best Short Film, Live Action' category for his film, Cashback. The feature film was actually produced more than a year after the original 2004 short film was completed, with Ellis completing the expanded script swiftly in seven days. This schedule is known to be exceedingly condensed by modern filmmaking standards. Ellis' next major film, The Broken, premiered in 2008 at the Sundance Film Festival and also graced the Horrorfest in 2009. Another side to Ellis's creativity is his photography, best showcased in his 2011 book Kubrick the Dog, a project dedicated to his dog who endured canine lymphoma. His film Metro Manila earned three trophies at the 2013 British Independent Film Awards, including Best British Independent Film, and Best Director.
