Sean Cardinalli has worked in the movie industry for thirteen years. In 2006, he relocated to Albuquerque from Los Angeles, but still splits his time between the two cities. Sean acclimated to New Mexico quickly, picking up production work on “Terminator Salvation,” “The Spirit,” “The Eye,” and the TV show “Easy Money.”
Before moving to the Southwest, Sean was a top script analyst for ICM—Hollywood’s second-biggest talent and literary agency—for four years. He also began copywriting while writing movie coverage and completed over half a dozen original screenplays.
Sean’s entrée into Hollywood was as a junior executive on the Artisan Entertainment development team which brought “The Blair Witch Project,” “Requiem for a Dream,” “The Limey,” and “The Ninth Gate” to the big screen. While at Artisan, he attended the Sundance and Urbanworld film fests and his script notes got him into meetings with the likes of Spike Lee and Darren Aronofsky.
He has analyzed screenplays for NewMarket Films, Screenwriters Online, Walden Media, Summit Entertainment, and Camilitary Productions; his own screenwriting got him into New York’s famed IFP Market.
As an analyst, Sean has covered thousands of scripts, including “The Strangers,” “Disturbia,” “The Golden Compass,” “Stardust,” “Pulse,” “The Exorcism of Emily Rose,” “Million Dollar Baby,” “The Last Samurai,” and “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” He’s read the work of some of Hollywood’s most popular writers and directors such as Bruce Joel Rubin, Stuart Beattie, Barry Levinson, Joe Carnahan, David Goyer, Dean Devlin, Wesley Strick, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci.
Sean graduated from UC Berkeley with a BA in English Literature. He tries his best to be a good husband and father, and he absolutely loves movies.
