Sean Rappleyea

Film enthusiast Sean Rappleyea was born in Rhinebeck, New York. As a kid growing up, he loved watching movies and began pursuing his interest at a young age, eventually studying film during his time in college. Sold on the idea of telling stories, he began to show his creativity in unusual ways and he hoped to change the paradigm when it came to showing others what it means to tell an engaging story. Throughout his career, he has written a number of freelance pieces ranging from short stories to feature length narratives. He has also directed short fictional and documentary videos. As an active writer looking to expand his portfolio, he jumped into television production and worked for various studios, on several television shows, including Marvel's Luke Cage, Showtime's Billions, CBS' The Good Wife, NBC's The Blacklist, and FX's The Americans. In 2016, he was given an Associate Producer position at Rizk Pictures, an independent production company based in New York City, led by his good friend and former Blacklist co-worker, Alexandra Rizk Keane.
