This is the directorial debut of internationally renowned US cinematographer Sean Price Williams (Good Time; Funny Pages; Listen Up Philip) whom The New Yorker described as “the cinematographer for many of the best and most significant independent films of the past decade.” Sean has shot films for directors including Abel Ferrara and Josh and Benny Safdie, lighting actors such as Ethan Hawke, Elisabeth Moss, Jon Hamm, Geena Davis and Robert Pattinson.

Sean collaborated on The Sweet East with screenwriter and notorious film critic Nicholas Pinkerton, with whom he shares a period of employment at the now defunct Kim’s Video Store in East Village, NYC.
