During his sophomore year, he brought it to life on screen with his dedicated crew, collectively known as the Broken 8.Responding to a perceived dearth of support from certain white professors and department heads, Seth took a bold step in the same year by founding The Frame, a student-led organization at Dillard University. The Frame is a haven for college and high school students, providing invaluable lessons in screenwriting, directing, and the intricate art of film/television development techniques.As a filmmaker, Seth Mathieu Alexander Harrison has proudly embraced the moniker of "Amateur Auteur Guerrilla."
