THE EXPERIENCE

From Portland director Sean Whiteman comes a one-of-a-kind horror film about childhood homes and the memories contained within. Join Director Sean Whiteman and his brother Christof Whiteman (Hiding Henry) following the film for a discussion about their film and how it all came into being. 


ON SCREEN: Hiding Henry

2024. Directed by Sean. Runtime: 88 minutes. Shot on VHS. 

Hiding Henry was the very best at hide and go seek. Then, one day in the 1990s, he disappeared. Thirty years later, Sarah takes on a housesitting gig in Henry’s legendary childhood home and can’t help but seem to feel someone is watching her…


ON STAGE: Sean Whiteman

Sean Whiteman was born exactly one minute after episode twelve of the first season of Cheers aired in 1982. It was titled “The Spy Who Came in for a Cold One.” He had his first breath as Cheers gave way to episode twelve of the fifth season of Taxi. It was titled “Get Me Through the Holidays.” Sean is a writer and filmmaker living in Portland, Oregon. He works for the Hollywood Theatre where he also programs the “On This Day” series. He has written and directed six no-budget feature films with his sibling Christof (including The Disgusting Little Shiver, Evil Spirit from the Sun, and Childhood Machine: In Standard Definition!). As a challenge to each other, Sean and Christof have made 29 short films in 29 days every Leap Year February since 2008 (145 comedic shorts in the project so far). Their newest feature film is a shot-on-VHS thriller called Hiding Henry which premiered at the 2024 Portland Horror Film Festival and received the Audience Award for Best Feature at the 2024 Kansas City Underground Film Festival. His most recent screenplay is called Blue Lives Spatter.

Christof Whiteman lives in Portland, Oregon, where they primarily spend their time wearing he-masks and thinking about how many people around them are not wearing masks. Christof is a dabbler, whose ADHD extends to their creativity. They studied creative writing and film production, but play around in songwriting, acting, comedy, photography, drawing, and anything else that catches their fancy—you might say Christof is kind of a  Jack  7-of-Hearts of All Trades. Sean cast Christof as the title character in Hiding Henry, which Christof also helped produce, score, and photograph. The production has led to both siblings dreaming up more VHS projects. Their most recent screenplay is called Bad Idea.
