ABOUT ME

Seth Bakke is a filmmaker fascinated by the striking sanctity of life’s ordinary moments. These seemingly small details become his entry points into character, where the mundane turns sacred and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

He has written and directed six short films including The Rescue. His earlier film, The Hearts that Bleed & Bloom, premiered at the 2023 Los Angeles International Short Film Festival, screened at Silicon Beach, and earned him “Best New Filmmaker” at the 2024 Hollywood Boulevard Film Festival.

Seth is currently building industry experience under producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Top Gun: Maverick, Pirates of the Caribbean, F1: The Movie), gaining a front-row seat to large-scale filmmaking while refining the intimate visual language that defines his own.

His developing style blends naturalistic dialogue with symbolic imagery, deep staging, and long, patient shots that pull viewers closer rather than hold them at a distance. Like a parable, his stories reveal meaning gently, allowing viewers to see themselves more clearly through the narrative. He is not simply telling stories — he is elevating the everyday, capturing the quiet pulse of being alive, reminding us that small things are not small when we dare to look closely.
