Sebastian Cluer is a Director, Producer and Writer born and raised in downtown Toronto. Picking up his first Super-8 camera at age 11 he has worked in virtually every capacity of film and television production, giving him an undisputed edge in the field. Graduating from Ryerson University’s Image Arts: The New Media program, Sebastian has gone on to direct Scripted Comedies, Short Films, Pilots, Hidden Camera, Documentaries, Reality Shows, Branded Content, Industrial Videos, dozens of Music Videos and thousands of Stock Video Segments for Web Design, Online Advertising and Mobile Wallpapers.


Awarded and Nominated…which is nice...but proves little really, Sebastian has been involved with such notable titles as the hugely acclaimed Doc-Comedy series ‘STILL STANDING’ on CBC, sketch comedy institution and national treasure ‘THE RON JAMES SHOW’, ‘STORAGE WARS CANADA’ – reportedly FremantleMedia’s most successful of the franchise airing in over 120 countries and counting, the critically acclaimed ‘KENNY HOTZ’S TRIUMPH OF THE WILL’ - ranked as the #1 Comedy subscription on iTunes during it’s debuting week and finally all 88 episodes of the infamous cult comedy series ‘KENNY VS. SPENNY’ - Executive Produced for Comedy Central by South Park’s Matt Stone and Trey Parker for which Sebastian served as a key contributor through all of it’s six seasons and affectionately referred to as the show’s ‘George Martin’, fulfilling such duties as Director, Series Director, Head Writer, Associate Producer and DP.


Known for his pragmatism, adaptability and creative calm under pressure, Sebastian is an anchor in the storm when the going gets tough. He’s been told more than once that he’s the only reason why someone hasn’t quit a project - so there! Even when the stars implode under their own gravitational pull, he maintains an even keel, going the distance to get the job done, keeping his team positive and invested in the journey to produce quality programming.


With over 200+ hours of shows under his belt, Sebastian continues to remain slim having worked alongside some of Canadian television’s biggest titans and helping continue the success of many well-known series as seen world-wide on traditional formats and inevitably on technologies yet to be invented.


Highly sought after in the industry, Sebastian is always looking for new and exciting projects to collaborate on and between faults in the space-time continuum, he develops his own projects, hoping to see the light of day before Gojira returns to ruin everything.
