More About the Author

Michael Sean Kaminsky is a Brooklyn based writer, video blogger and filmmaker. Sean, as he is more often known, has his B.A. in Film & Television from the University of British Columbia in Canada and his M.A. in Media and Communications from the European Graduate School in Switzerland. He has produced and/or directed documentary projects for networks ranging from HBO to Sundance Channel to MTV's LOGO.

Sean's passion for filmmaking was born when his grandfather - a filmmaker and photographer - screened a collection of his Super 8 films that spanned over fifty years of family history. Soon enough, his grandfather gave him an old camera and Sean was making his own experimental films in his back yard in Winnipeg, Canada.

Throughout his life, Sean has kept a written journal and in 1996 began experimenting with video journaling as a way to increase creativity and engage in self-exploration. This practice, combined with experiences he had videoing documentary subjects and the YouTube phenomenon, ultimately coalesced to inspire his M.A. Thesis, the development of the 'Video Regeneration' workshop and ultimately the writing of 'Naked Lens', his first book.

Kaminsky is currently launching an intensive version of the 'Video Regeneration' workshop as well as starting a new documentary project. He began using 'Sean' as a nickname while living in an artist's collective in the Mission district of San Francisco in the mid-nineties...there were four other Michaels.

5.0 out of 5 stars is this thing on?, February 14, 2010
This review is from: Naked Lens: Video Blogging & Video Journaling to Reclaim the YOU in YouTube (Paperback)
we all know the horror of hearing our own recorded voice.

it's always the same--"do i really sound like THAT?"

for those brave souls willing to explore themselves via video journal, the resultant exclamation is the the same--"do i really act like THAT?"

video journaling really amps up the process of honest self-exploration--there is no escape, no denying. lying to the camera is lying to yourself. and unless you are one seriously messed up individual, your truth is hard to deny.

kaminsky's eight week workshop will help you find the courage to explore, transform & heal. much like the artist way or any other tool for self-exploration, if done authentically, a greater life awaits you.
