About

I don’t tell stories because I’m an editor.
I’m an editor because I’m a storyteller.

Sean Fanton is an Emmy-nominated editor, producer and director whose work spans television, feature documentaries, branded films, immersive experiences, social content and original series.

He began in public access television, built a post-production company from the ground up, led teams and workflows, and has spent more than two decades shaping stories for audiences across platforms.

The title changes from project to project. The purpose never does: find the human truth, build the emotional journey and make the audience care.
