Sean Richard is a Grierson-nominated documentary filmmaker and co-founder of Object Studios. He served as a Producer (PGA) on The Last First: Winter K2 (2026), directed by Emmy Award winner Amir Bar-Lev. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, was named by The Atlantic one of its "Top Ten Indies to Look Out For," and was subsequently acquired by Apple Original Films for global distribution. RogerEbert.com hailed it as "a harrowing blend of Free Solo and the Titan submersible disaster," and critics praised the film's unflinching examination of ambition and human endurance at the edge of survival.
Sean was lead producer and writer on Pistorius (an Amazon worldwide exclusive) and co-producer on the true-crime feature The Phantom (Greenwich Entertainment). He most recently produced Cantona, an all-access portrait of the Manchester United icon, which premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. The Telegraph awarded it five stars, calling it a "match-winning masterpiece," while The Hollywood Reporter described it as "pure cinematic cocaine." He also produced Intelligence Rising, an AI war-game documentary featuring Yuval Noah Harari that The Hollywood Reporter described as bringing together "the world's brightest minds" to confront "how artificial intelligence might reshape power itself." The film premiered at CPH:DOX and was acquired by ARTE.
Sean is currently in production on Monolith, a cinematic documentary about the making and legacy of 2001: A Space Odyssey, produced alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. He is also in production as writer and producer on a new global sports series directed by BAFTA- and Emmy-winning filmmaker Ian Bonhôte, and is producing a documentary on the Louvre heist. His work has screened at major international festivals including Sundance, Cannes, Tribeca, Venice, and the Berlinale.
