She is finishing a re-write for Netflix and getting ready to direct her next live-action feature film "The Huckauf," which is inspired by her childhood in a German castle. Set in a magical world, "The Huckauf" is a story about reconciliation between a young woman and her mother after her mother's attempted suicide. Seanne studied writing and directing at USC Film School. As a creative producer at Lin Pictures (now Rideback), she oversaw the Sherlock Holmes franchise with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. She went on to become the Executive Producer of "The Lego Movie" directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, starring Will Ferrell, Chris Pratt, and Elizabeth Banks. She co-founded an underground community with producer Dan Lin for filmmakers to discuss, "How do we tell better stories?" Seanne also produced Kanye West's "Life of Pablo/Yeezy Season 3" show in Madison Square Garden and "Monster," a five-part documentary series, for Spotify about rapper 21 Savage.
