Director Biography - Sean Devaney

Sean Devaney is a young Director with six shorts he's directed in the past. Growing up in Brighton, Sean grew up around art and culture, especially with his father being an actor. His love of films date back to an early age, buying his first camcorder at 11.

Camera in hand, Sean created YouTube videos for an online audience, with strange characters and no budget. This evolved into creating more relatable stories for his Film course at Varndean College.

Sean then attended Solent University in Southampton and created several shorts, half for his course, the other for his passion of telling stories.

Director Statement

This story is very important to me as the idea of telling a feminist tale of women taking back control of their lives always spoke to me. While I obviously had a very male perspective on the subject, I always felt that the gender was not the defining aspect, it was people suffering through childhood neglect and mental abuse fighting back that defined the story.

As these are two people who never truly speak their mind, I decided musical numbers should act as confessions, a place for Julie to freely speak her mind for the first time where no one can hear. In a way, musical songs have always been films answer to monologues and that's why I felt they'd work so well here.

I think people are often connected by a troubled childhood, almost everyone I speak to has been through hard times and its moulded and shaped them into who they are now. This is the story of those who do not wish for it to define them anymore; those who wish to be themselves and not the people they were made to be.
