Comfortable with actors, celebrities and real people alike, Sam's work in experiential, hidden-camera and conventional narrative comedy has a natural and irreverent tone.

His 'Texting & Driving' film for the Safe Roads Alliance was a best PSA winner at commercial production's top show, the AICP Awards. His branded film for PUR caught patrons of a Water Bar in New York tasting samples of tap water from around the country, then their reactions when they learned of the levels of legally permissible contaminants in their drinks. And his 'Lump' film for Cancer Research U.K. documents people unwittingly passing a tumor in the sidewalk that grows to comical proportions. He's also directed popular commercials for Goldman Sachs, American Express, Burger King, Heineken, Geico, Gillette, Xfinity, Sprint, PlayStation, Samsung, McDonald's and many more.
