Origin story:

Sam was born and raised in the mountains of Western North Carolina. As a wee lad he worked as an intern at a local video production company, learning the ins and outs of the corporate video world. Over the next 5 years, Sam honed his skills working his way up in the company to a full time Video Editor/Cinematographer position working on high end corporate and documentary projects while learning how to satisfy the most demanding clients.

His obsessive passion for learning and practicing the art of cinematography getting the best of him, Sam attended the University of North Carolina School of the Arts School of Filmmaking to receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Cinematography.

Let loose in the real world again after four years of intensive training, Sam found his calling as a cinematographer and camera operator.

Now with over 14 years of experience in the industry, with his corporate video origins and traditional conservatory film school training, Sam has a remarkable blend of business acumen, technical expertise, and refined aesthetic and artistic sensibilities that he brings to every project.

He is currently based out of Atlanta, GA, and often travels to collaborate with clients. Creating meaningful and visually impactful content is what he loves to do, and Sam is always looking to collaborate with new clients to bring their creative visions to life!
