In 2023 Seth was selected as one of fifty international filmmakers to attend PLAYLAB's Creators Lab under the mentorship of Apichatpong Weerasethakul in the Yucatan jungle of Mexico. There he completed 'The Hole' - his sixth short as director.

His first conventional narrative short '5’12” (Five Twelve)',  premiered in competition at the Melbourne International Film Festival (2025) in the Accelerator Shorts program, and at SXSW Sydney (2025).
