After leaving school in the tenth grade, Sam decided to chase his dream of becoming a filmmaker. In 2010at age 16, he began his studies with MSIT, an institute that was quickly becoming well known for its output of industry ready talent. In 2012, Sam joined forces with fellow students Ryan Unicomb & Jordan Bailey to take part in the Brisbane 48 hour film project. The resulting film, 'A Quest of utmost importance' won the coveted audience choice award and recieved glowing reviews. Less than 6 months later, Sam once again teamed up with Ryan & Jordan to this time tackle the Origin8 24 hour film festival in Toowoomba Queensland. Their short film 'code Name: COTTON' was a top 8 finalist in the competition and also won the Origin8 award for originality. The production group was made up of 9 filmmakers under the ages of 25, all recieved much praise for their proffessionalism and execution. Sam's next project; 'DREAMING' is well into pre production and is expected to shoot in October 2012.
