WHO AM I?
I'm Seth Deter, an award-winning Creative Director and Filmmaker with a passion for crafting compelling stories. Having a formal education as a graphic designer gave me a instinctual eye for detail which quickly led to drawing connections and conclusions for the art of story. Finding and following the very root of how something makes us feel. Today. I’m a Creative Director and Filmmaker exploring directing, editing, animation, concept development, and writing.
My work revolves around emotionally resonant narratives with a touch of history, blending design, animation, and film to create impactful pieces that make the difference. From domestic projects to international ventures, my dedication to authentic visual storytelling aims to inspire and leave a lasting impact on audiences.
