Hi, I'm Seth Porges.
I directed and produced Class Action Park, which is available for streaming now on (HBO) Max. It debuted at #1 on (HBO) Max and held that perch for some time. It currently has a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
I also directed and produced How To Rob A Bank, which is on Netflix. It hit the Netflix Global Top Ten, was the #3 streaming movie in the country, and currently sits at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
I also wrote a book called Our Polyvagal World; How Safety and Trauma Change Us. This book is about the autonomic nervous system and how our bodies transform based on how we feel.
Prior to these things, I did a lot of other things. Here are some of them.

DOCUMENTARY SHORTS
-The Most Insane Amusement Park Ever
Prior to making Class Action Park, I was part of the team that produced this little documentary about Action Park in 2013.
-When Pinball Was Illegal
I narrated and starred in this great little New York Times documentary short about the history of pinball (a topic that I continue to be obsessed with).
TINY HOUSE
I have a tiny little place in Upstate New York called the Glass House. It has gotten quite a bit of attention as of late and seems to make its many visitors very happy.
You can see it and read about it in The New York Times, or see the segment The Today Show produced about it.
