Transatlantic creative production company Loveboat, which launched earlier this year, has signed director Sean Frank to its diverse cooperative of directors and inter- disciplinary artists. Loveboat, with offices in Los Angeles and Paris, represents Frank in the U.S. and France for commercials and branded content
Frank is a London-raised, Los Angeles-based director who began his artistic journey making stop motion animations at the age of 10. A graduate of Goldsmiths College and Central Saint Martins, Frank has turned out films that are rooted in real, relatable environments, situations, and subcultures that combine cinematic compositions with inspirational stories. His credits span music videos and film. Frank’s work has screened internationally, garnering several award nominations. He has been featured by Vogue and Nowness, among others. Recent work includes the riveting short film Further Away, executive produced by Lena Waithe with AT&T, the documentary short Mas Fuerte, Every Kind Of Way–Visual E.P. for Grammy award-winning artist H.E.R., and the TV series Boomerang, also executive produced by Waithe. He has also completed branded projects for clients including Apple Music.
For Frank, art has always been a vehicle to confront wider societal issues. “To keep seeking and telling meaningful stories is my responsibility as a filmmaker,” said Frank. “Showing unique perspectives that make people feel, to question the status quo, and to illuminate the broader social concerns of our time motivates me. The team at Loveboat completely gets where I’m coming from and respects my work. I’m happy to be creating with them.”
“Sean’s films all share a sensual and evocative quality,” said Jeff Baron, managing partner of Loveboat’s L.A. office. “Loveboat’s foundation is built upon our commitment to mentorship and development of director’s careers. We align completely with Sean’s passion for rich storytelling and dedication to progress.”
