MICHAEL
SEABOLT.
I’m a director, writer, and 1st Assistant Director originally from Maryland and based in Los Angeles. My work moves between horror storytelling and the fast-moving world of commercial production.
Whether I’m behind the camera or running the floor, I believe the strongest work comes from preparation, collaboration, and making room for the unexpected.
Let’s work togetherLET’S MAKE
SOMETHING GOOD.
Have a project, a set, or a story in mind? I’d love to hear about it.
