ABOUT
Swiss-Jamaican writer and CONTENT PRODUCER
Sean Pitter Patterson is an emerging writer focused on film, television and music — with the goal of centering the work and lived experiences of black female creatives. She received her Bachelor’s in Film Production and Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia and is currently undertaking the Modern Journalism program put together by NYU x Rolling Stones.
Sean’s work has won awards at several film festivals across North America and she was selected to be part of the 2021 Catalyst Mentorship cohort at the Vancouver International Film Festival. She has taken strides to learn about every facet of the industry and has worked within Ghanaian television, VFX, commercial, broadcast and network television industries. She has also worked as a story editor, video editor, and content producer.
Sean is currently working as an entertainment journalist on the interview podcast, "Walk The Talk", highlighting talented black women paving their way in the film, television, music and fashion industries. Additionally, she is developing an original dramedy about a black twenty-something aspiring indie rock artist navigating the start of her career while juggling unemployment, relationships, family, and mental health, all in a city where she stands out both as a Black woman and a rock musician.
Sean hopes her work will be a part of shaping the stories around black girlhood, and bring representation to the multitudes that exist in complex black female characters.
