Washingtoner/10329644

LOS ANGELES - Washingtoner -- Home, the upcoming feature film from acclaimed director Sean McNamara, will mark the latest collaboration between McNamara and award-winning Director of Photography Shawn Seifert. Having previously worked together on Bau, Artist at War, the duo reunites to bring a distinctive visual language and cinematic scope to McNamara's newest project, which follows a charismatic con man (Mike Vogel) who must risk everything to save an immigrant child (Lincoln Fox) to give the young boy the Home he never had.

Seifert has quickly established himself as one of the industry's rising cinematographers, earning recognition for his ability to blend emotional intimacy with striking visual storytelling. Most recently, his work on Bau, Artist at War garnered widespread acclaim, winning Best Cinematography at the Sunscreen Film Festival, where the film also received Best Film and Best Director honors, a testament to the talents of both director and cinematographer. Bau, Artist at War, which stars award-winning actor Emile Hirsch, continued its successful festival run by winning Best Feature Film at both the Tarzana International Film Festival and the Burbank International Film Festival, while also receiving a nomination for Best Cinematography at the Rehoboth Film Festival.
