Sam was incredible! There were a lot of changes to this shoot and Sam was very patient and attentive to all of the updates. He went above and beyond in capturing exactly what we needed to tell this story; no item on the shot list went unnoticed. The footage is beautiful — high quality and shot with a keen eye. I would highly recommend working with Sam on your next story!

Great experience from beginning to end. Sam is very responsive and communicates promptly. He knows his craft and can also do sound work well. Has the proper equipment for the job. He is knowledgeable and creative; and can achieve the shot with minimal direction. He is very hardworking and kind on set. Five stars!

Sam was great to work with - professional, prompt, communicative and flexible. He was extremely reliable despite the fluid circumstnaces of the coronavirus, and was able to deliver top quality footage and interviews. Recommend his work.
