Sean Pope works with producers and production companies focusing on all aspects of production legal services from development to distribution, with a particular focus towards documentaries and docuseries.

He serves as counsel for Emmy award-winning companies Boardwalk Pictures (America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Chef’s Table, Welcome to Wrexham, Last Chance U) and Campfire (The Menendez Brothers, The Money Game), servicing shows such as Cheer, The Later Daters and Encounters. He also represents production companies such as Image Nation (Watcher, Late Night with the Devil) and The Solution Entertainment Group (Werewolves, Blacklight, Killerman, Line of Duty, Honest Thief), and he recently provided representation in various facets for financiers, talent and production on the 2025 Sundance premieres Bubble & Squeak, April & Amanda, and Oh, Hi!. 

Pope enjoys being a part of teams that help elevate unconventional stories, and he delights in sharing his experience with young producers, writers and lawyers when he has the opportunity.
