His work spans television, film, digital and web, commercial and branded entertainment, docu and non-fiction, narrative fiction and comedy. Seth's dynamic creativity, variety of experience and expertise gives him a unique and innovative perspective on a rapidly transforming media landscape.

Seth began his production career in New York City working his way up in physical production on everything from 'Between the Lions', 'Crossing Over with John Edwards', 'Angel's in America', unheard of indie movies and low budget music videos. Seth's first major break came at age 24 when the world's largest advertising agency, DENSU Corp., began commissioning Seth's newly launched production company Go Picture Productions to handle some of their more moderately budgeted productions.

In 2007 Seth declared his intension of moving into the creative side of production. Three weeks later he lived in Los Angeles.

Seth's first West Coast project was a spec commercial for Doritos. Though this project did not win the online popularity contest to become Doritos' 2007 Super Bowl commercial, the executives at Frito-Lays found it and contacted the team. This spot then became Doritos' Super Bowl commercial the following year, and was subsequently ranked the #4 Super Bowl spot of 2008 by Ad Age and #1 by Yahoo. Since then, this commercial has been included on many of the yearly 'best ever' Super Bowl commercial recaps.

Next, Seth developed his first original TV concept. After a long journey of development and discovery, the project became the subject of a bidding war between Fox Studios and Warner Bros. By the time the project eventually landed at Fox (after a personal pep talk by Gerry Newman) Seth had established himself as a creative force. Since then Seth has optioned projects to many of the major studios and top line production companies in Hollywood.

During the 2008 Writers Strike, Seth organized with a group of his peers to create what was at the time still a very new concept - a web series 'Imaginary B*tches'. After catching the fancy of the national media and being awarded a slew of web-based awards, Seth and his team were recognized with a 2008 'new approaches' Emmy nomination, and in doing so, became the first ever non-studio backed web project to receive an Emmy nomination.

Since then Seth has worked on countless Web, TV and Docu projects, displaying a keen eye for quality and assessable entertainment content and an ability to bring projects in on time, on budget and in excellence. Seth has produced projects for Comedy Central, Fox Sports/Speed, Funny-or-Die, Comedy.com, Coca-Cola, Lowfairs.com, Ronzoni Pasta, Honda and countless others.
