Our Passion

The goal of our organization is, quite simply, to push the industry forward for independent filmmakers.

So many creators feel stuck within the confines of an industry that was built by conglomerates to be a money machine. And while their methods work for them, they aren’t designed to promote unique and creative ideas by outsiders.

The film industry has been around for over 100 years, and much of the way it operates has remained the same for all those years.

Throughout the entire history of film, independent creators have been present, pushing the studios to think outside the box and presenting new and interesting ways to approach old problems. But the studios are determined to keep the independent filmmakers at bay.

But SeAe Collective sees a different option. One where the creators take control of their own content, their own audiences, and their own destiny.
