Sean Stone has grown up in the film-world, having acted since childhood in his father Oliver Stone’s films, including The Doors (1990), JFK (1991), Natural Born Killers (1994), Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010) and Savages (2012), before making his directing debut with the documentary-style psychological horror Greystone Park (2012).
Sean Stone majored in American History, studying at Princeton University and Oxford. He completed his Senior Thesis on the New World Order, which he converted into a book in 2016, now available from all major booksellers.
By the time Sean Stone finished with college, he was fortunate enough to have worked with such organizations as Save the Children in Somalia, and the gang prevention program Unity-One for Jim Brown’s Amer-I-Can group in Los Angeles. He is recipient of the 2019 Humanitarian Award from the Alliance to Rescue Victims of Trafficking; and the 2019 Golden Axon Leadership Award from the Brain Mapping Foundation.
Stone wrote and directed his first fictional short, Singularity, in 2008; this science-fiction story is set in the near-future, where three friends struggle with the implications of living in a fascist society that abducts and executes people who are suspected of carrying a mysterious plague. The film won the International Cinematographer’s Guild Emerging Cinematographer Award for the Director of Photography Eduardo Mayen.
Stone is currently the co-host of the RT news show Watching the Hawks, which airs internationally. He has also hosted three-seasons of the interview program Buzzsaw on Gaia. Stone’s shows investigate the real world’s ‘X-Files’, taking an unflinching look at the esoteric and hidden agendas behind world politics, popular culture and news events.
