Sam is a great director to work with - creative from both a story telling and visual perspective (He self shoots very well). He has very frequently turned around stunning films very rapidly, and has a great rapport with on-screen talent, as well as the other members of the team. He has a flair for structuring and scripting engaging films, and and is obviously hugely experienced in the edit, given the first class films he's made for C4's Steph's Packed lunch. Would highly recommend working with him.
