Emerging from the heart of Creole country, deeply rooted Cajun filmmaker and screenwriter Seth Savoy is well on his way to crafting a uniquely spicy imprint on the world of film.
As a budding creator growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas, Savoy’s penchant for storytelling emerged in the local theater- where it took no time at all for Seth to recognize how much magic could be mined from the unique tales & performances being manifested on stage.
Seth’s exploration of artistry continued into his time at Columbia College Chicago, where he produced multiple award-winning short films, an array of hip-hop music videos, and creative campaigns for prestigious companies- including the New York City Ballet.
Savoy made his initial splash onto the Hollywood radar with his feature film debut- “Echo Boomers” - which follows an indebted college graduate wrapped up in an elaborate, class-system-based robbery operation in Chicago. Taking inspiration from harrowing local headlines, the story was crafted and sent to the Sundance Film Festival in 2015, where it won the annual pitch competition and would eventually be cast & led by two-time Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon and Patrick Schwarzenegger.
Savoy currently splits his time between Los Angeles and Chicago where he runs Speakeasy Pictures.
5 wins & 7 nominations
The film stars two-time Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon ("Knives Out") and Alex Pettyfer ("I Am Number Four"), follows indebted college graduate Lance Zutterland (Patrick Schwarzenegger) who is pulled into an underground operation in Chicago in which his peers fight the system by stealing from the rich. Led by Mel Donnelly (Shannon), the group leave behind a trail of destruction before Lance realizes he is in over his head with no way out.
Set in 2013, Savoy was inspired to pen the script after local headlines of similar break-ins in the Chicago area surfaced. He eventually took the script to Sundance Film Festival in 2015, where he won an independent pitch competition and captured the industry's attention.
"Echo Boomers" released in select theaters, on-demand, and digital on November 13, 2020 which Richard Roeper calling Savoy a fresh directing voice with real talent infusing kinetic flash into everything he touches.
Born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas to Cajun-American parents, Savoy participated in a multitude of theatre productions growing up. He discovered his passion for storytelling on-stage, being instantly mesmerized by the beauty of one-of-a-kind performances.
Savoy went on to study filmmaking at Colombia College Chicago, where he made multiple award-winning short films that have screened globally. Outside of film, Savoy has an extensive background in music videos, working with artists such as Twista, Mike Jones, and Asher Roth.
