Bio
Shea William Vanderpoort, a director behind Season 3 of Amazon Prime’s ‘Harlem.’ Shea aimed to bring forth his creative experience and ethic of supporting the cast and crew with a selfless and additive mindset from working on Awkward Black Girl to Harlem. As an Asian-American, he believes filmmaking is problem-solving and believes diverse backgrounds empower us with the ability to overcome any obstacle. In a full circle moment, working on Harlem brought him back to collaborating heavily with creator Tracy Oliver as well as Pharrell and Mimi Valdes, who had all helped launch Awkward Black Girl a decade prior. Starting out as a cinematographer, then editor and co-director before becoming a full-fledged director, Shea knows how to work hard to create a product he’s proud of and see the full picture when creating projects. Shea would love to talk about his experience bringing diverse stories to screen, his career journey from Awkward Black Girl to Harlem and more.
