When Seth is not on set working on a project or writing, you can find him in acting class, "Acting class is like a gym, actors must stay in shape by training and if you want to be the best, you must train with the best".

He also played a Mexican Federale on AFI's top film shot on 35mm called "Lucha" all in Spanish, leaving audiences at festivals completely silent for the heavy content and realism of the missing Women of Juarez.

I am looking forward to keep making a difference through my work not only as a Filmmaker but as a human being, to give and help those less fortunate and to teach, invigorate, uplift, inspire the next generation of film makers. To collaborate with pioneers like Christopher Nolan, Alejandro Iñarritu and Steven Spielberg and also actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Daniel Day Lewis and many more.
