About Me

Sean Berry was born in the island country of Saint Lucia while his parents were pioneering for the Baha'i Faith. Shortly afterwards, the family moved to the island of Grenada, staying there for a few years, but leaving prior to the invasion of the U.S. military in 1983. Sean then grew up in Sacramento, where he was soon influenced by comic books and old science fiction books. Sean started writing his own sci-fi stories and drawing his own comic books at the age of nine. After such events as a shooting at his school, a teacher being stabbed at his brother's school, his family's house being broken into, and a family friend being shot by the police, Sean's family decided to move from Sacramento and try living in the Portland area. Sean never felt more at home. He continued to write and soon picked up photography, following in the footsteps of his brother, father, uncle, and grandfather. It was a video project for a class assignment in high school that sparked Sean's interest in film making. After high school, Sean took classes at the Northwest Film Center in Portland. Sean wrote his first full length screenplay at the age of 22 and created his own film production company at 24, called Hole In the Wall Productions. The first film produced under the new company was called "S&R" (Sean's fifth short film), a 22 minute allegorical tale of the relationship between science and religion. Sean still calls Portland, Oregon his home and continues to make short films, take photos, and write short stories, poetry, comic book scripts and screenplays.
