Born on a secluded animal farm at the top of Malibu's infamous Mulholland Highway, Sam blends highly stylized imagery, music, and psychedelia with horror and genre cinema via her production company Foxy Films (Wowzers, Unagi). In 2021, Sam wrote and directed "Bad Acid" which won her Best Director at Nightmares Film Festival, Best Production Design at both FilmQuest and Be Afraid, and Best International Film at Phenomena Festival. In 2023 Sam teamed up with MovieMaker Magazine to make the absurd horror-comedy, "Fck'n Nuts", based off her experience growing up with her crazy family. "Fck'n Nuts" has screened at top tier genre festivals such as Fantastic Fest, Beyond Fest, and Brooklyn Horror and won her Best Midnight Short at FilmQuest, Best Horror Comedy at Flickers Rhode Island, as well as the jury prize at Knoxville Horror. Sam is also an executive producer along with Desiree Staples on Heidi Weitzer's comedy feature "My Divorce Party" acquired by Gravitas Ventures in 2024 (ft. Rumer Willis) as well as a producer on Britt Lower's “Circus Person”, which screened at Tribeca Film Festival, won Best of Festival at Catalyst 2021, the Audience Award at Nashville Film Festival. In her free time Sam enjoys surfing, sailing and disco dancing.
