Sam is a London-based director and writer, whose body of work is characterized by a distinctive visual aesthetic and a dark sense of humor, encompassing a wide range of genres, including science fiction, supernatural fantasy, and crime capers.
His original worlds are populated by eccentric characters, and his films firmly reside within the realm of genre fiction, while thoughtfully exploring complex themes such as family trauma, colonialism, and politics.
Sam's debut feature, Hitchhikers, which is set to enter production in April 2020, is a testament to this trend.
Raised in Paris and Johannesburg, Sam's projects often possess an international flair, with a particular focus on France and Ireland, where he earned his undergraduate degree in History and Political Science at Trinity College Dublin.
During his university days, Sam was an integral part of the theatre scene, acting and directing alongside some of Ireland's most talented performers, who are now making waves in the Irish theatre scene.
Sam is a 2016 graduate of the prestigious National Film & Television School, where he earned his master's degree in Directing Fiction.
