A native of Detroit, Michigan. At 15 years old, Sean was inspired in his first creative writing class and by one particular movie that he felt was "pure storytelling." The film was The Good, the Bad & the Ugly, directed by Sergio Leone. Jackson became hooked on strong stories and developed an addiction to Rod Serling's Twilight Zone. Writing soon became a creative outlet he couldn't live without. In October of 2002, Jackson relocated to Las Vegas and wrote and directed his first short film, In His Own. Excited and yet eager to produce more, Jackson wrote and directed another film, Best Intentions, in 2006. It was the first film he truly felt proud of and it was in the same year that Jackson met Kathleen Shinn. They quickly bonded and became lifelong friends and wanted to work creatively together in the industry. In 2006-2009, Jackson, along with Shinn and two other partners, formed Brass Taurus. Under Brass Taurus, Jackson, a self-taught director, created his first web series, Detective Douchey. In the spring of 2010, Jackson and Shinn decided to form another production company. Thus, Somnium Productions was born (Somnium is the Latin term for "dream"). Under the Somnium brand, several more short films were produced: It's Karma Baby, Dying to Tell You, Sweet Ninja Brown, The Butcher & Pandress and The Nowheres. However, Bubblegum & Broken Fingers is Jackson and Somnium's first full-length feature film. Hide
