Seanne Winslow is an award-winning writer, director, and producer who grew up in Germany and spent time in England, Israel, and the Middle East. Seanne's 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 and the fourth most successful 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” that won the night on RTL2 in Germany. She also 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, made history as the first feature film ever shot entirely in Oman. The film garnered notable recognition, winning 14 awards at festivals for its exceptional writing and direction, and is currently available across platforms, including Amazon Prime.
Seanne is currently attached to write and direct TO BE LOVED, an adaptation of leading trauma therapist Frank Anderson's memoir, in the vein of "The Holdovers" meets "Good Will Hunting." Additionally, she's attached to direct HUMAN TWO POINT OH, an innovative AI/live-action movie hybrid.
Her film ARISTIDES, which she wrote and will direct, tells the true story of a Portuguese diplomat at the beginning of WW2 who saved the lives of over 30,000 people, including Salvador Dali and the creators of Curious George. Juan Mayne (NOWHERE) is producing, and it is set up with Exile Content, with plans to shoot in late 2025/early 2026. She's also developing ARNICA, a thriller inspired by her childhood in a German castle, which she will write and direct. Tore Schmidt (THE DANISH GIRL) and Benjamin Munz (BLOOD RED SKY) are attached to produce with her.
Beyond her creative work, Seanne serves as Senior Advisor, Entertainment for Resetting the Table, a non-profit organization that helps bridge cultural divides through storytelling. In this role, she connects Hollywood's leading writers and showrunners with RTT's transformative methodology for crafting authentic, conflict-driven narratives that resonate across America's diverse audiences. This work builds on her experience founding The Creative Salon with Dan Lin, an underground community of over 200 A-list filmmakers, and hosting Good Egg Dinners; both initiatives focused on fostering meaningful dialogue and idea exchange among industry leaders.
Seanne began her career as a creative producer at Lin Pictures (now Rideback Ranch), where she played a pivotal role in launching three franchises that grossed over $2 billion. She was the Executive Producer of THE LEGO MOVIE, spending six years developing it with Lord & Miller and assembling an all-star cast including Will Ferrell, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson, and Morgan Freeman. She oversaw SHERLOCK HOLMES, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, and collaborated with Dan Lin and Jon Silk to develop Stephen King's IT. Her experience spans beyond traditional film production – she also produced Kanye West's "Life of Pablo/Yeezy Season 3 Fashion Show" at Madison Square Garden, which drew 42 million online viewers and was streamed live in over 1,000 theaters worldwide, as well as a Spotify documentary about 21 Savage.
Seanne studied writing and directing at USC Film School.
