Director Sean Meehan Joins The Salmon

Toronto-based production company The Salmon has announced the addition of director Sean Meehan to its roster for Canadian representation. Sean hails from Australia, where he learned his craft while working in the camera department, moving from camera assistant to director of photography. Since making the leap to directing in 2003, Sean’s work has been recognised by every major award show, including the Cannes Lion, D&ADs, LIA, and The One Show.

Sean is an accomplished performance director and cinematographer whose portfolio spans global campaigns for brands like Volkswagen, Samsung, Toyota, Subaru, Amazon, AT&T, and Expedia. His storytelling-driven style allows him to create natural and effortless connections between brands and viewers - whether he’s staging a heartfelt duet for Uncle Ben’s, crafting a musically driven spot for VW set to Mr. Roboto, or warming hearts with an insurance ad for AXA.

“Whether it’s sincere or comedic, there’s always real, relatable human experience throughout Sean’s work. I should know because I am a real and relatable human, despite all the rumours on the internet that suggest otherwise,” said Dave, co-founder of The Salmon and one-half of the directing duo Adam & Dave. “Sean also shoots most of his films himself, bringing his unique vision in scale and scope to each piece.”

“We’ve admired Sean’s work for a long time,” adds Adam. “He brings a visual richness and emotional sincerity that pulls you in from the very first frame—which makes me experience something inconvenient, called ‘feelings.’ We also love that he’s a fellow Commonwealther, with matching King Charles back tattoos to ours."

Sean’s short film, Lost Face, which he wrote, directed, and shot, was included in almost 200 international film festivals, garnered over 50 awards, and was shortlisted for an Oscar.
