You probably have seen Sam in some Blockbuster Films such as Venom or Alita Battle Angel. He has been in the industry for more than 15 years, making the mission impossible for Mark Wahlberg in Mile 22. Born in Ho Chi Minh City from a Vietnamese mother and a Honduran/Polynesian father, Sam is the next generation of Screenwriters & Film Directors. For a long time, Sam has been in the music industry, producing Rap & RnB music. But after hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, showed him another path. His charisma and ambiguous look led him into the film industry. "Every time I was on set, instead of going back to my trailer, I was studying. Connecting with amazing crew, in every single department. During more than 15 years, I have learned with those individuals that I am so grateful for! I've worked with legendary Directors: Oliver Stone, Robert Rodriguez, James Cameron, Antoine Fuqua, Martin Campbell, Edward Zwick, Peter Berg. I put all this knowledge into practice. In addition, with all the research and hours of learning in manuals and books like a puzzle, I took the best pieces and I created my own style". Ambassador of diversity, Sam empowers his actors. Innovative and resourceful, He shows and achieves the unexpected in a motion picture. Sam is the Co-Founder of the production company Overlook Entertainment.
