About Sam
I’ve been writing professionally for sixteen years, with the last three of those focusing almost exclusively on screenwriting. I live in London with one cat and not enough motorbikes.
My first feature, The Narrows is currently in development with Rather Good Films. I have several other projects I’m working on, including an expanded version of the award-winning short I wrote for The Ridley Scott Creative Group. I also work as a script consultant.
On the journalism side of things I’ve written for The Times, The Telegraph, NME, Shortlist, The Guardian, and Private Eye as well as a bunch of other places.
