Seth has always been interested in media in all forms, from his early days in stage theater, both musicals & drama. Both in front and behind the scenes he developed a drive to contribute in as many forms as he could to the medium.
This led him on a path from the stage to the screen, from on stage and in the spotlight, to behind the scenes with first the audio, and then the visual aspects.
Eventually he found his calling with compositing, and from then on pushed himself to learn the skills and techniques that would allow him to work on the big screen.
After finishing an intense university program focused on his field as the class salutatorian, he has gone on to work on two feature films so far, one which went on win and Oscar for its Visual Effects. Currently he is now working on a mini-series for the HBO television network, and enjoying each new challenge that come up as an opportunity to learn new things.
