LOS ANGELES — The actors are on their mark and ready for their next take. They're shooting a sketch comedy short about a bizarre gender reveal party.

It's the latest in a series by director Sean Keller. 

"It's the first of many that we're trying to do every weekend," Keller said. "To be consistently working, and consistently shooting, and making stuff."

Always creating is what Keller believes will get him to his dream of being a working full-time film director. He moved to L.A. eight years ago after he graduated film school.

Growing up, he was inspired by movies that were large in spectacle. 

"I love Spielberg films, like those really larger than life stories that have heart and focus on character," Keller said. 

A few years back he took out a loan to buy a RED cinema camera that would allow him to collaborate with like-minded people and create his own content.

He started a production company called Accidental Jacket Entertainment. He's directed shorts and music videos with a core group of folks and since has grown his directing portfolio.

Many of those folks are here today as part of his sketch comedy group called "A Little Bit."  

"I just feel very at home when I get to direct," said Keller. "I feel like it reinforces that this is what I love to do and it's why I moved to L..A." 

Life in L.A. was hard at first. He was a struggling artist working odd jobs, one of them as a production assistant on the Oscars.

But it reached a point where those jobs were taking up his time that he couldn't create.

So a year ago he started working full-time for a lifestyle brand as a video shooter, editor, and director. 

"I used to think getting a full-time job would take away the ability to make more of my own stuff, but it actually allowed more of it," Keller said. 

One of his biggest goals is to direct a feature length movie musical. His production company is currently working toward that goal.

On Oscar Sunday, which he refers to as his Super bowl, he will definitely be watching. 

"It invigorates me, it makes me feel like anything is possible in this industry," Keller said.

Should he make it there one day as a nominated director or in attendance, his Hollywood dream will have come full circle.
