​

2020 was a turning point in Sean's career, landing his first feature length film production 'The Last Horns of Africa' which is a gripping and intimate look at the current rhino poaching war raging across Africa for which he has won 5 awards for Best Score. This then led to his second feature length documentary film 'Jaimen Hudson: From Sky to Sea' which tells the story of Jaimen embarking on the greatest challenge of his life to become the world’s first underwater cinematographer with quadriplegia. The film was shown in cinemas, Australia & New Zealand wide. Sean went on to score his 3rd documentary feature film 'How To Thrive: A Practical Guide to Happiness' which follows Marie McLeod, an unconventional Positive Psychology coach, who takes on 10 volunteers with complex psychological issues on a quest to learn ‘how to thrive.' The film was released in cinemas around Australia from October 13th, 2022. In early 2023, Sean completed his 4th documentary feature score for 'Pignorant' which follows world renowned vegan activist Joey Carbstrong and his team infiltrating the Pilgrim’s Pride slaughterhouse in Manchester and secretly planting cameras inside the cages of the gas chamber. The investigation was a success, showcasing UK’s first ever footage of pigs being gassed in CO2. As a result of what was found in the footage, a much larger investigation was conducted into the UK's pork industry, which will come to light in this very confronting film. It is forecast for release towards the end of 2023. He is now currently scoring a documentary series for SBS 'Life on the Hospital Frontline,' which steps inside St Vincent's hospital in Sydney to explore the challenges facing the Australian public heath system.
