About Evan Seplow
Evan Seplow is a director with years of experience seeing projects from inception to final completion (and even on to distribution and marketing). He’s done features, shorts, commercials, music videos, corporate, and pretty much every other kind of marketing and promotional film whether it be live action, animation or even theatrical events.
He knows how to bring out terrific performances with actors and non-actors, guiding them to shine on camera. He is also highly technical – there’s not a job on a set that he can’t step in and do himself (well, don’t have him do wardrobe. There are limits!). Being a full knowledgeable of camera, sound, lights, editing and graphics means he knows how to communicate with everyone in their own ‘language’ to make everyone feel comfortable and get great results.
Evan is a highly flexible director, not sticking with one “style”, but instead choosing the right approach for the job at hand. From smooth and classic, to rough and edgy, depending on the mood, project and general goals.
HISTORY
Evan got his start in show business as a child actor. By age 13 he had done commercials for Aim Toothpaste and Dunkin’ Donuts, and had a lead role on Broadway. But as a teenager he decided he liked the creative side, and while attending NYU film school also opened up his own audio recording studio.
He wound up shooting Music Videos and Producing/Editing Commercials for major and indie record labels, including projects for U2, Tears for Fears, Coolio, Elton John, George Michael, Vanessa Williams and more. Soon after he started shooting independent feature films, including “Blazin”, which ranked on Billboards top 25 grossing sales charts. He also shot the 35mm feature film “Pocket full of Dreams”, an international film shot in India and the USA.
Along with Music Videos and Feature Films, Evan has been shooting Corporate video all along. His client list looks like “Who’s Who” of Fortune 500 companies, including Nokia, Disney, Allstate, Johnson & Johnson, Reuters, Microsoft, and many, many more.
