Sean Price Williams is an American cinematographer, film director, and film actor. He is known for his textured, fluid camerawork (often handheld) and a heightened attention to available light. The ''New Yorker'' film critic Richard Brody described Williams (in a memorial appraisal of documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles, for whom Williams served extensively as cameraman), as "the cinematographer for many of the best and most significant independent films of the past decade, fiction and documentary — including ''Frownland'', ''Yeast'', ''Fake It So Real'', ''The Color Wheel'', ''Young Bodies Heal Quickly'', ''Listen Up Philip'', the Safdie brothers' ... ''Heaven Knows What'', and Alex Ross Perry's new (of 2015 ) feature ''Queen of Earth''."〔Brody, Richard, "(Postscript: Albert Maysles, 1926-2015 )", ''The New Yorker'', March 6, 2015.〕 In a 2013 article for Film.com, critic Calum Marsh deemed Williams "micro-budget filmmaking's most exciting cinematographer."〔Marsh, Calum, ("Meet Micro-Budget Filmmaking's Most Exciting Cinematographer" ), ''Film.com'', July 17, 2013.〕 Marsh would go on to write in a 2014 article in Toronto's ''National Post'' that "Williams, in particular, has proven indispensable to the (American independent film ) movement, and over the past several years has distinguished dozens of the films with his all but peerless talent for photography, from experimental nonfiction work like Maiko Endo’s ''Kuichisan'' to more conventional comedies like Bob Byington’s ''Somebody Up There Likes Me''."〔Marsh, Calum, ("America’s most vital filmmaking movement finally shows its face on Canadian screens" ), ''National Post'', October 24, 2014.〕 Williams has also worked several times with the director Abel Ferrara, whom he greatly admires. Along with other celebrated figures of the New York independent film scene such as Perry, Kate Lyn Sheil, Robert Greene, and Michael M. Bilandic, Williams was a long-time employee of famed New York video and music store Kim's Video and Music.〔("The Story of Kim’s Video & Music, Told By Its Clerks and Customers" ), Bedford + Bowery, August 22, 2014.〕 Prior to that, Williams worked at the famed Video Americain stores in Maryland and Delaware. He also worked as part of the staff of Albert Maysles' production company Maysles Films. ==Filmography (as Cinematographer)== * 1999 ''The Overcoat'' by Evan Guilfoyle * 2001 ''Twelve'' by Daniel Noah * 2003 ''Ye Are the Light of the World (Don't Stare into the Sun)'' by Robert Greene * 2003 ''Six Videos About Tourism'' by Robert Greene * 2004 ''Water People'' by Ned Ambler * 2005 ''Sports: A 12 Part History'' by Robert Greene * 2006 ''Sans supervision'' by Andrew T.
