Sean escaped the shadow of multiple bad-touch priests in Delaware, survived the dawn of hardcore punk as a teenage skinhead, and fell into selling meth for an escape plan. Go Go Boy Tapes drags you from the ‘First State’ through NYC’s last decade of decadence before cell phones and high-speed internet, granting you VIP access to this vanished world through Sean’s chest of lost tapes—raw, unfiltered relics of nights that should have been forgotten, where survival meant reinvention at any cost. From hustling as a male dominatrix to ruling the ’90s party underground, Sean eventually erupted as fire-breathing co-frontman of the legendary Toilet Boys. Along the way, he found love with a punk icon and Lunachick, hosted TV shows, and acted in commercials and movies, navigating the chaos of infamy and romance in a world already on fire. His multiple psych ward confinements—each more surreal and terrifying than the last—play out like sequels in a horror franchise, mirroring the madness he both survived and unleashed. The band’s gender-bending chaos and struggles feel eerily relevant today, and they played a key role in some of the internet’s earliest experiments. Now an Emmy Nominated and award-winning animator, Sean turns survival into a raw, unflinching cry for justice in a cultural landscape hell-bent on erasing those who dare to live untamed and unapologetically. Featuring a star-studded cast and a genre-defying DIY aesthetic, this is a movie decades in the making.
