Sean Wainsteim is a Toronto-based filmmaker and director. He also happens to be the creative and award-winning mind behind some of the most imaginative music videos to come out of Canada in the past few years. Working with the likes of Tokyo Police Club, Hannah Georgas, and Wintersleep he's become known for his ability to take familiar songs and interpret them in new and novel ways. I sat down to talk with Sean about the creative process, the power of a good story, and the perennial challenge of creating art that rings true. Check out his work at http://www.seanwainsteim.com/ |
