- Presenting the 'Director's Cut' of the ABT SUMMER SEASON Campaign.
being able to direct this entire campaign, alongside some of american ballet theatre's most iconic pieces, have been an insane journey to say the least... never in a MILLION years would i have ever imagined to witness these incredible pieces in person, let alone direct them. Thank you connor, thank you lourdes, thank you kevin, and thank you to the entire ABT team for believing that i could bring something different to your stage, while also trying to honor what makes ballet so special. watching the pieces in the studio and in person for the first time, was literally enough for me to understand how i wanted to showcase the undeniable feeling of awe and admiration of ballet.
the track you are listening to right now, was created by me and scott. i pulled inspiration from a song by labrinth for this specific video, because it was the only genre of music that held the elegance of ballet, yet a modern take on instruments at the same time. i did the vocals, while scott produced and played all the instruments.
at last, i won't end this without thanking my right hand guy, scott winn. me and scott were put through some of the most insane obstacles throughout this entire process, yet without him, this entire project wouldn't have been possible. my gratitude for this guy, is beyond anything i could actually express. you guys would never believe the stories that we've had, throughout this journey of this project. i wouldn't trade this experience with scott for anything in the freaking multiverse.
i truly hope you all enjoy this version of ABT's 2022 Summer Season MET Campaign.

الحمدلله فايزة
wow this is beyond amazing, it's crazy to see what you're able to create
❤️❤️❤️
Seeing your name next to ABT my jaw has never ACTUALLY dropped. It just did. What in the....... Sean 🥰😂you have like, beyond beyond, super made it. A hip hop phenom collabing with the best ballet company in the USA?! Am I dreaming?! What happened here?!?! How?? As a ballerina that has followed you for YEARS and admired your abilities I never thought our worlds would intersect. This is beautiful and you have just so so many gifts. I still can't believe this is real.
I love the concept, the aesthetics, the visuals, the direction, the music (what you sing is a delight to listen to) congratulations for this piece Sean 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼♥️♥️
Bro, this is amazing work. Love the imaginative feel, the contrast in lighting from reality to fantasy, and the subtle sound design to make everything feel more tangible. Bravo, Sean!
I'm so proud of you Sean. The talent, visuals, and soundtrack in this video are amazing. So glad you had the chance to be a part of the ABT summer season campaign. With you Sean we can always expect everything to be next level, expect the unexpected.
so proud of you Sean.... this looks amazing
Best part about this is how it is so very obviously Sean's video style. Anyone that has followed his video blogs, especially "Iceland" (go watch it now if you haven't), it's hard to miss that this video is simply Sean though-and-through... Oh, also, that means its excellent =D
About Sean, can’t wait to see what is next nevertheless wanna stay in the moment.
You earned this opportunity, Sean, and with it, you created wonder and beauty.
(Wish publishers were as forward thinking as dance companies.😭)
This is SO GOOD 🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽. Sean Lew being a director fits you Perfectly. The visual is insane, CINEMATOGRAPHY 🔥 🔥. The track is truly AMAZING 🔥. Well done, incredible work Sean Lew and all the cast 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.

You understand what you do at an over-artistry level that's beyond everything artistic. You're such inspiration to me and I love you so much. Continue doing what you do and 🙏🏼thank you so much for being you and showing this side of you to the world❤❤🔥🔥.

Yes pleaseee
I’m in an awe of ballet AND I’m in an of what you did as a director! This is huge! So much inspiration from you💫
This is prolly one of the best I've watched my entire week. You're so talented, Sean. Job well done to everyone in this project.
I feel so proud of you, been watching you for years. But also so jealous of all you can do and the lack of fear to try new things and step out of the box. Please never stop stepping out of the box. I teach classes on a multitude of subjects from crafting, robotics to video and photo editing, and the biggest challenge I have is hearing from people “I can’t” before they even try. I hate it because it was always what held me back. So keep flying young man. Your bravery is awesome to see, don’t ever box yourself in. Love you Sean
i'm so proud of you sean i can't wait to see it 💐
