Born in Texas and raised in New Mexico, Sheridan is a legally blind, Korean-American writer-director based in Los Angeles. He made waves with his directorial debut, LITTLE BROTHER, which stars JK Simmons, Daniel Diemer (PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS), and Philip Ettinger (FIRST REFORMED). The film took home the Audience Award at the 2023 Atlanta Film Festival and was released in the US through Gravitas Ventures, and Europe through Conte-Jour.
As a creator, his work is known for exploring family, trauma, and the underseen through character-driven narratives that veer between catharsis, darkness and levity.
Sheridan is a fellow of the 2025 Film Independent Episodic Intensive and the Inevitable Foundation’s Accelerate Program. Through the year long program, he is being mentored by Alex Garland, Destin Daniel Cretton, and Andrew Ahn. He most recently shadowed Vince Gilligan on his new Apple series PLUR1BUS and directed the feature-length documentary follow-up to the Emmy Award-winning film RISING PHOENIX which was produced in partnership by Harder Than You Think and P&G Studios.
Featuring Lauren Ridloff (ETERNALS), Jim LeBrecht (CRIP CAMP), Paralympic Gold Medalists Ezra Frech, Anastasia Pagonis and other high profile disabled changemakers, RISING PHOENIX: A NEW REVOLUTION is a rousing, moving portrait of the modern disability movement. It was co-produced by Ventureland and its production team includes Academy Award Winning producer John Battsek and Academy Award nominated executive producer Jim LeBrecht.
Sheridan has been a speaker at the Cannes Lions, the Hollywood Radio & TV Society, and for clients like Samsung, among others, and has been supported by Film Independent.
He is represented by CAA, Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment, and Elle Potruch for on camera.
