About Sam

Sam received his Masters of Fine Arts Degree in Screenwriting form Stephen’s College (’21). His first job as a screenwriter was with MCV Productions, Inc. where he wrote the adaptation of a contemporary Christmas novella (I Believe) to a screenplay. He has worked on set production crews for several films since his move to Montana, such as Murder at the Emmigrant Gulch and A Montana Story, and commercials for Carhartt and Tom Brady.

Sam also works as an independent contractor, creating videos for local organizations such as promotional videos for Livingston Healthcare.

When he’s not filmmaking, Sam focuses on his writing, aiming to have three completed screenplays by the end of 2021. More information about those projects will be posted on the site as soon as they are completed.

Sam’s goal is to be staffed in a writer’s room and further his journey as a professional screenwriter. He enjoys teaching screenwriting as well, giving guest lectures at local classrooms when he can.

Graphic Design - Pitch Decks

The key thing is to be creative and offer an engaging visual presentation for industry insiders to consider. If you have too much information (too much text), you’re going to lose them. Focus on the broad strokes. Paint a picture of the story you want to tell, and showcase how you intend on telling it.
