Sean Scott Griffin - Writer/Producer
Sean Scott Griffin is a storied and multi-disciplined film industry professional with two decades of experience spanning production, development, distribution and screenwriting. This combined expertise makes him somewhat unique in the film industry. Since 2005, he has built a reputation as a versatile and steadfast operator in the UK film and television landscape.
Beginning his career as a floor runner and production assistant, Sean gained valuable experience working on productions by many visionary filmmakers, including Richard Curtis, Martin Campbell, and Wes Anderson. He further developed his craft as the producer's assistant to industry titans Adam Bohling and David Reid on Kick-Ass 2, where he gained invaluable insights into commercial filmmaking at a high level.
Along with "Adam and Dave", Sean went on to co-produce the ambitious £2.2 million feature documentary "Tawai – A Voice from the Forest," shot across eight countries over five years. He personally spearheaded its theatrical release into 120 UK cinemas, demonstrating his comprehensive understanding of the full filmmaking lifecycle from concept to audience.
Sean moved into Development and Distribution in 2021, where his experience has led him to consult for independent filmmakers navigating the complex release landscape, providing strategic guidance for multiple indie releases.
As a story consultant and screenplay analyst, Sean has provided expert script development on projects from a wide range of screenwriters -- from first-time writers to award-winning playwrights and established Hollywood talent. All genres, all budget ranges, all the weird stuff, all the good (and bad) stuff and everything in between.
Through his work with Save The Cat!, the BFI, and numerous top industry executives, his insights have shaped projects featuring stars like Olivia Colman and Sir Ian McKellen. Having analysed over 2,000 screenplays and TV scripts throughout his career, Sean brings exceptional depth to his understanding of narrative structure, character development, and genre conventions. This has naturally led to him developing and packaging his own unique concepts with audience appeal, many of which are at pitch, packaging and finance stage.
Sean's creative vision took centre stage in 2023 with the launch of REBEL YEAH!, his production company developing a slate of bold, socially conscious genre films. His projects have earned him invitations to pitch at prestigious industry events around the world including Berlinale, Birmingham Film & TV Market and American Film Market (AFM).
Sean has numerous screenplays of his own at pitch stage and is currently writing his debut novel (set for publication in the summer of 2025). He brings the same narrative expertise, cultural awareness, and creative boldness to his screenwriting that has defined his endeavours across all facets of the film industry.
Despite the industry's notorious ebbs and flows, Sean has maintained a steadfast commitment to creative excellence throughout his career. His measured, strategic and multi disciplined approach has fostered a stability that clients and producers consistently value - making him not just a creative collaborator, but a dependable force who delivers results even in challenging circumstances.
