Sean Quinn

Writer | Director | Producer | Storyteller Across Borders

Sean Quinn

I'm a bilingual American writer-director based in Buenos Aires, telling stories that move between languages, cultures, and genres. My work spans TV, film, theatre, and branded content, from Tribeca-premiering series to intimate stage plays.

Welcome to my portfolio.

ABOUT ME

I'm a writer, director, and producer originally from the U.S., now based in Argentina. A USC Theatre graduate with an MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University, I create stories that cross borders—linguistic, cultural, and emotional.

In 2024, Yanqui, a bilingual dramedy I co-created, premiered at the Tribeca Festival. I've written and produced two stage plays in Buenos Aires, and my directorial debut short film Contrafrente is currently in post-production.
