"Sam is one of those rare people that can pretty much do it all. He shoots to an extremely high standard - both when following handheld actuality and when capturing cinematic drone shots. He is also a great editor.

On the practical side, Sam is probably the hardest-working and most dedicated person I have ever worked with. In very challenging circumstances, he has the ability to focus and get the job done. He's also incredibly creative, easy to get along with and just a lovely human being. He would be a valuable person to have as part of any team. Hire him! You won’t regret it!"

- Miles Blayden-Ryall, Emmy & BAFTA-nominated series producer.

I’m a BAFTA-nominated filmmaker and editor based in Bristol.

Over the last 12 years, I’ve worked across a range of roles on natural history and factual entertainment programmes for companies like Netflix, National Geographic and the BBC. In this time, I’ve developed a wealth of experience in almost every production department.

As well as edit-producing and editing, I’ve spent extensive time in the field as a director, AP, cameraman and drone operator.

On top of my factual work, I also write & direct drama.

My work has played at hundreds of festivals internationally, including over 20 BAFTA & Oscar-qualifying programmes—such as London Film Festival, Sitges, Aesthetica, Encounters and many more. Along the way, I’ve picked up several awards including a Méliès D’argent award from the International Festivals Federation.

I've worked with BAFTA-winning actors and partnered with organisations like the British Film Institute. My short film, Hungry Joe, was nominated for a London Critics’ Circle Award and competed for the Méliès D’or at the 2021 Sitges Film Festival. It was also selected to screen on the prestigious Short of the Week platform, where it was called “one of the great modern British horror shorts.” Since then, it has gone on to receive over 2 million views on the horror channel Alter.

As a writer, I've developed feature scripts with the BFI and Escape Plan (Saint Maud, Love Lies Bleeding) and been selected for the 2024 Brit List - a list of the best unproduced scripts in the country.  One of the features was recently optioned for production in 2025 by Void Films (Funny Cow, Midas Man.) I was also a finalist for the Academy Nicholl Fellowship - the most prestigious screenwriting competition in the world. 

This year, I was selected for BFI’s Network@LFF cohort; an annual flagship professional development programme focused on  filmmakers with distinctive voices who are poised to make a significant impact in the film industry. Read Less
