Samuel A. Email and Phone Number
Hi there! I'm a writer and producer based in New York City with experience in development and clearance for film, TV, and web content for both American and European markets. I have years of experience collaborating with content creators, producers, and filmmakers as well as working with legal and business affairs to mitigate risk around third party intellectual property. After graduating from the NYU film program, I first landed in the bizarre world of paranormal reality television, then bounced around the industry working on feature films and narrative television series. I then worked in rights and clearances at Google focusing on trademark and copyright issues for sponsored content. Outside of my work, I'm an author, filmmaker, and member of the Horror Writers Association.
