Seanne Winslow is an award-winning writer, director, producer who grew up in Germany and spent time in England, Israel, and the Middle East. Her unique ability to tell stories that entertain, delight, and inspire global audiences is evident throughout her work.
Most recently, Seanne wrote the draft of the smash hit Nowhere for Netflix, which garnered the movie a green light. The movie became an overnight success. It is the 2nd most-watched non-English language film on Netflix, with over 85.7 million views in its first 100 days on the platform.
Prior to Nowhere, Seanne directed episodes for the reboot of Beyond Belief with Jonathan Frakes and developed The Witchverse for Disney+ with Baobab Studios.
Her feature directorial debut, The Falconer, created in collaboration with Adam Sjoberg and produced by David Jacobson, garnered notable recognition, winning 14 awards at festivals for its exceptional writing and direction.
Seanne is currently writing Aristides: A Righteous Life, which she will direct. The movie tells the true story of a Portuguese diplomat at the beginning of WW2 who saved the lives of over 30,000 people, including Salvidor Dali and the creators of Curious George. Juan Mayne (Nowhere) is producing, and it is set up with Exile Content. She is also attached to direct The Extremes, an action-packed film under the banner of Sugar House Films. Additionally, she's developing Arnica, a thriller inspired by her childhood in a German castle, to write and direct. Tore Schmidt (The Danish Girl) and Benjamin Munz (Blood Red Sky) are attached to produce with her.
Seanne began her career as a creative producer at Rideback Ranch (formerly Lin Pictures), where she played a pivotal role in launching three franchises that grossed over $2 billion. She was the Executive Producer of The Lego Movie, featuring Will Ferrell, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson, and Morgan Freeman; oversaw Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law; and collaborated with Dan Lin and Jon Silk to develop Stephen King's It.
Motivated by her passion for storytelling in Hollywood, Seanne co-founded The Creative Salon with Dan Lin — a discreet underground community of over 200 A-list filmmakers. This group encourages and challenges its members to produce their most creative work.
After launching her own production company in 2015, Seanne began hosting regular Good Egg Dinners for a broader community in the entertainment industry, where 12 industry insiders exchange ideas and support one another in their careers. She has hosted Good Egg mixers with former Good Egg guests called Scrambles at film festivals such as Berlinale and Sundance.
Seanne also produced Kanye West's "Life of Pablo and Yeezy Season 3" fashion event at Madison Square Garden, the five-part documentary series "Monster" for Spotify about rapper 21 Savage, and executive produced the critically acclaimed documentary "I Am Sun Mu."
