Sean Cain

Sean Cain is an American film director, editor, producer, and writer. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, he credits his father for introducing him to filmmaking. As a child, Sean's family would reenact scenes from "Mike Hammer" and watch them together after dinner, sparking his creative journey.

Sean now resides in Los Angeles where he created Velvet Hammer Films with his long time friend and business partner, Jim Wright. After releasing his first film, Naked Beneath the Water (2006) in early 2008, he went on to direct six more films, Silent Night, Zombie Night (2009) (with The Walking Dead (2010) alumni, Lew Temple), The Last House (2015) (which stars Jason Mewes , best known from the Kevin Smith films as "Jay") and SyFy fare such as Jurassic City (2015) (with Ray Wise), Terror Birds (2016), and Eruption: LA (2018). Cain's seventh film, Dead by Dawn (2020) is getting back to his horror roots.

When he isn't directing, Sean has carved out a niche as an editor having worked on 70+ feature films that can be seen all over the world on streaming services like - Netflix, Paramount +, SyFy, Hallmark, Lifetime and many others.

Sean also served as producer on two other projects, Someone's Knocking at the Door (2009) and Warning!!! Pedophile Released (2009) in the span of less than a year, which prompted Fangoria to dub him the "Indie Horror Specialist."
