Sean McCarthy

Sean McCarthy was born in Hong Kong and grew up in San Jose, California. He saw his first film at the age of three and knew he had found his life’s calling. By the time he reached high school he had written and directed over 50 short films, even appearing in front of the camera at times. When Sean turned 19, he officially formed his own professional production house, Guerilla Wanderers Films. The company has gone on to produce countless award winning films, commercials and music videos, with such notable standouts as the critically lauded short Raging Cyclist and the narrative music video Moving Out, an award winner twenty-two times over for ‘Best Of’ on the international film festival circuit. He also wrote and directed award winning ads for a number of prominent Silicon Valley corporations, including Hitachi and ThoughtSpot as well as national spots for coupons.com. Sean had the distinct honor of being voted Best Filmmaker by readers of Silicon Valley’s Metro for a record three years in a row, and to date has garnered 11 Best Director awards for his films and music videos.
