Isaiah Seret was born in Kabul, raised in Santa Fe, NM, and spent his twenties traveling across Asia, cutting his teeth as the first assistant director on two films made by Tibetan monks.

His short film “Quarantine”, a short prequel to “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” won a 2015 Webby award.
Seret has created commercials for clients including Adidas, Burger King, Comcast XFinity, Adobe, Coca Cola, Jack Daniels, Microsoft, and Bacardi’s Dewar’s Scotch. He began his professional career directing music videos and has worked with MGMT, Devendra Barnhart, Norah Jones, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Raphael Saadiq and Cults, and his work has been honored with MVPAs, UK Music Video Award and British Arrow Awards.
