Sean Price Williams
The New Yorker film critic Richard Brody described Williams (in a memorial appraisal of documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles, for whom Williams served extensively as cameraman) as "the cinematographer for many of the best and most significant independent films of the past decade, fiction and documentary."[3] Among the films Williams has shot are Frownland, Yeast, Fake It So Real, The Color Wheel, Young Bodies Heal Quickly, Listen Up Philip, Heaven Knows What, and Queen of Earth."[5] Along with other celebrated figures of the New York independent film scene such as Perry, Kate Lyn Sheil, Robert Greene, Luke Oleksa, and Michael M. Bilandic, Williams was a long-time employee of famed New York video and music store Kim's Video and Music.Written by film critic Nick Pinkerton, it stars Talia Ryder as a runaway high school student who weaves her way through a series of American countercultural groups, extremists, and outsiders.[7] The Match Factory acquired The Sweet East for sales before its premiere in the Directors' Fortnight section at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
