Seanne Winslow

Seanne is a writer and director who first made her mark in Hollywood as a sought after creative producer. She oversaw the Sherlock Holmes franchise with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law for Lin Pictures, was the creative onset producer of The Lego Movie starring Will Ferrell, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson, and Morgan Freeman, and co-founded an underground community with producer Dan Lin for A-List writers and directors to wrestle with the question, “How do we tell better stories?” (Fight Club rules so don’t ask for more info).

In 2019, Seanne wrote and directed her first narrative feature film, The Falconer, in Oman with Adam Sjoberg. It is the story of an unlikely friendship between two teenagers that spans cultures and continents.

As a writer and director, Seanne is not afraid to tell stories that grapple with hard topics while infusing them with compassion and a sense of wonder. Her current project Ilona is inspired by Seanne's childhood in a German castle. Ilona leaves her life in Los Angeles and returns to her childhood home in a tiny German hamlet to help her mother face her demons. To save both herself and her mother, Ilona must stand up to an ancient spirit-king that haunts the woods.
