Upcoming Projects

Take a digital walkthrough & sneak peek at Seth's newest project "Belong"

This lookbook is crafted not to be just images, but an experience. As a Cajun, New Orleans not only holds a special place in my heart, but creating a brutally honest representation of New Orleans during this time period is one of the most important goals of this project. The second you take out a camera and start photographing people, an act of love happens which will make you say that these people are important and worthy of time. The things they're feeling and thinking are important and worthy of us all to consider. This film is being approached as a piece of art rather than just a "movie." The visual style, music, metaphors, and emotions depicted are extremely specific to this story and its characters. We've taken music from old 1960s romance films and paired it with visuals that encapsulate the struggle, themes, and motifs.

This site serves as an accoutrement to this beautifully written script and should not be looked at as a substitution whatsoever. This creative little document is broken up into four chapters which are reflections of the emotions the script gave me and the unspoken feelings the film intends to bring to the audience. The music for each chapter has been hand-selected and plays a heavy part in the warmth and excitement this document is supposed to provoke.

Creole Soul: the Cinematic World of Seth Savoy

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.
