Hello! I'm Sam. I directed all the films and videos on this site. Some of my own favourites are on the homepage, but if you click around the menus at the top you'll find endless hours of comedy, lots of it co-written with my long-time collaborator Raphael von Blumenthal. I'm always making new stuff, so keep watching. Also, please do get in touch, I'd love to hear from you.
