My journey as a director began in 2006, with my very first music video inspired by the bold, cinematic energy of 90s and 2000s American music videos. That era shaped my creative eye: dramatic storytelling, striking visuals, and a larger-than-life approach to filmmaking.

Under the name Mike Static, I quickly made a name for myself in the music industry. Over the years, I directed videos for national and international artists, collaborated with all the major labels in the Netherlands Sony Music, Universal Music, Warner Music and collectively reached over a billion views on YouTube.

But as my vision evolved, so did my name.

In the past four years, I rebranded as Michael Sean, stepping into a new chapter. I moved away from music videos and shifted my focus to the worlds of beauty, fashion, and cinematic brand storytelling. It’s been a natural evolution from high energy visuals to a more refined, artistic, and emotionally grounded way of working.

Today, I direct commercials, brand films, and corporate content with a signature style that’s clean, cinematic, and concept-driven. Whether working on a luxury beauty campaign or a bold fashion visual, I bring a balance of instinct, experience, and storytelling to every frame.
