Our Story

They have been on the lookout for the right opportunity ever since.They both graduated on the same day from Columbia University with masters degrees—Sean with an MFA in film directing and Chris with an Ed.M. in curriculum & instruction—before embarking on successful careers in entertainment (Sean) and education (Chris).Their long-awaited opportunity arose when they realized that they should combine their talents to leverage the power of entertainment to educate people.The idea is simple: create entertaining, high-quality, “movie trailers” about complex topics.This is how TRAILER STUDIOS was born.
