About
Originating from the North-West of England, Sebastian began running on productions at 14 years old. Sebastian's work in short films as a director and writer provides an invaluable insight into working with and directing actors. In 2008 he wrote and directed the short comedy Finishing Touch. A year later, his parody of The Dark Knight was nominated for an Empire Movie Award. He was invited to appear and direct a sketch on SKY's Live from Studio Five and has since completed many projects with Paramount's Comedy Central TV network. He is currently working on Theatre of Dreams: Believe a documentary that will be featured on a DVD release in 2012. Sebastian has two shorts in development and his sights set on international festivals.
