Set against the ultraviolent, unstable times of New York City in 1993, It If Bleeds It Leads is the true story of my coming of age chasing murder, mayhem and love full-speed behind the wheel of an auctioned-off cop car on the streets of the biggest media market in the world.
Directed by accomplished actor and director Shae D’lyn (Boardwalk Empire Dharma & Greg), If It Bleeds it Leads is not a blood soaked exploitation of violence, as much as an examination on the societal consumption of violence through the lens of local television news.
Ride along, stand on the corners…come face to face with the cops, the firefighters, the perps, the victims and the denizens of the night that shaped my very personal journey into the role journalism played in my family as well as the American caste systems of money, race and privilege.
Filmmaker Joshua Zeman (Cropsey, Sons of Sam) describes If It Bleeds It Leads as “a love letter to a time in New York City described best described as the Wild West.”
Sean won the Best Storyteller Prize for If It Bleeds It Leads after its premiere at the United Solo Festival Fall 2023.
