About.
Sam has produced 20+ screen projects for post graduate actors in training as part of a successful career in actor development and management serving the film, theatre and television industries.
Most recently she produced ‘NeverBorn’, a short film as a proof of concept for her own feature film which she hopes to shoot. This led to a place on a prestigious 8-week professional writers course, pitching to All3 Media through the National Film School.
Sam thrives on the busiest schedule, co-ordinating a school of 500 eager part-time students at Redroofs School for the Performing Arts, Maidenhead, alongside her own mentoring programmes for young professional actors.
Sam’s full length screenplays now include NeverBorn (90 min) and The End of the Pier (60 min). Her first publication dwelling - an anthology is available on Amazon.
Sam is also a photographer with an interest in social documentary and particularly stories of youth. Her first collection ‘First Light’ follows young monks in Cambodia.
She is thrilled that her photographs of children in hospital settings were picked up by a celebrity tv show for ITV in May 2025.

Scholarship Mentoring
Subject to schedule I’m always happy to offer scholarship preparation / creative mentoring to eager candidates ages 11/13 years. Material choices will always be from published works, and where time allows we will look at several options. Introductory work with the candidate will ensure best working methods to achieve a desired outcome.
My approach is unique for every child and pieces would be selected accordingly. These would not be stock suggestions, unless they come from lists provided by the school. Where a child is applying for more than one school, we can prepare more than one piece. Interview techniques and confidence building, alongside a positive experience is assured.
