I've had the pleasure of working with Sam Miller on several series, most recently as Series Director for a true crime series for Investigation Discovery. He's a thoughtful, organised and passionate film-maker who works hard on the shoot and in the edit to produce stunning and thought-provoking films. He's a pleasure to work with and I would welcome him back to Lightbox at the drop of a hat.

Sam is a very talented filmmaker who cares immeasurably about his work and always strives to make it the best that it can be. He is a gifted storyteller, writer and director who is an asset at each stage of the production process - he seems as comfortable drafting scripts as he is grappling with a tricky story in the edit and his films are as engaging narratively as they are visually. Sam is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to my next opportunity to team up with him.

Having Sam on your team is invaluable. He is a brilliant collaborator, extremely conscientious with contributors and highly skilled on location and in the edit, but to me, most importantly, he is a Director with a really great eye, both for the essential story and visually. Having done two projects with him I very much look forward to the next one. Marc Tiley Series Producer ITN Productions

Sam is a very talented, hard working producer and director. He brings everything to every show he works on, wringing the most out of the resources. He's a strong writer and understands how to tell a story, from development, through production and in the edit.

Sam is a fantastic producer/director. He is hardworking, conscientious and creative. He simultaneously juggled two edits whilst also prepping for a shoot when working with me and he remained calm and professional throughout. He is a great team player working collaboratively and supportively with runners and execs alike and he has a great manner with contributors asking incisive questions and eliciting strong performances.

He has great ideas for making his films visually arresting and his footage always looks great. I would definitely hire Sam again if I had the opportunity
