Testimonial
“Working with Sam was a major highlight of this project. As a first-time director, Sam really helped me understand the casting process and took his time guiding me through every detail. His directing experience shows in how he casts; he encouraged me to step back and reimagine several scenes in ways that highlighted the actors’ unique takes on each character. Each decision was made collaboratively and with so much intention. I couldn’t be happier with the casting choices we made, and I genuinely attribute much of that to him. I never felt overwhelmed or frustrated; instead, I felt excited, inspired, and completely confident that we had THE cast to make this film everything I envisioned. I couldn’t imagine doing it all without his expertise!”
