Seamus Gibney is a writer, actor, director, and composer based in Calgary, Alberta. In 2019, Seamus created the mockumentary web series "Finger Lickin the SHOW" (2019–2024), a two-season, six-episode project that follows fictionalized versions of Seamus and his friend Travis in their increasingly deranged quest for YouTube fame. Each episode pays deliberate homage to different films and television genres—sometimes borrowing entire soundtracks. The series serves as a loose tribute to Nirvanna the Band the Show, making Finger Lickin—in Seamus’s words—“a parody of a parody,” both ironic and poetic in its conception. Yet the show moves beyond parody. What begins with high schoolers chasing internet clout soon spirals into surreal escapades involving Pokémon card heists, matrix delusions from beef jerky "do not eat" packets, and laundering money for a suspiciously all white “Mexican drug cartel.” The final episode shifts tone dramatically, deconstructing the show itself as Seamus (both character and creator) ends the series with closure—setting the stage for a new creative chapter. In 2024, Seamus founded "pinewick productions". Its debut short film, "easy on the turns" (in development), follows two characters—Matt and Jay—on a lulling late-night road trip with a trunk full of a third person’s belongings. A slow-burning exploration of memory, maturity and what we leave behind.
