With a growing body of work consisting of 10 short films, Senne has quickly gained attention for his distinctive voice and cinematic style.

Born in 2006 in Denver, Senne has developed a deep passion for film. He is captivated by the works of filmmakers pushing conventional storytelling's boundaries, mirroring the same in his work. Senne’s entry into filmmaking began during his time at FutureForward at Bollman, where he honed his skills in writing, directing, and editing.

His characters are typically flawed, morally ambiguous, and relatable, with stories that dive into themes of redemption, identity, and the human capacity for change.
