Our guest today is my friend Sean McIlraith.

Sean and I met living on the same hall as college freshmen back in 2009. Sean is an Emmy Award-winning Director & Editor who spent over a decade at SNL.

Sean and his brother Ryan are filmmaking partners. Together they’ve cut over 180 pre-taped films during their 7+ seasons at SNL. Their other credits include John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A., Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain, The Eric Andre Show, That’s My Time with David Letterman, and many more. Their long list of work and accolades is too much for this intro, but I highly encourage you to check out their work.

Thanks so much for listening to Climbing Sideways.

Special shoutout to Sean for making time for this interview with a new baby at home. You can follow Sean on Instagram @seanmcilraith or check out his website, mcilraithbrothers.com

As always, infinite thanks to Zubin Hensler for all the mixing and original music for the show.

Please subscribe, share, and write us a review. And as I mentioned before, I’m working on postcards, so if you want a handwritten note from me, shoot me a DM or send me an email at [email protected].

We’ll be back in a couple of weeks with another conversation. Thanks so much. Byeeeeeee.
