Writer Biography - Sam Ellis

Sam Ellis is an American screenwriter, hailing from a small steel town. Descended from coal miners, farmers, and schoolteachers, Sam saw a packed matinee showing of Star Wars on a cold February Saturday in 1978 at the Cinema I-II-III, and that was that.

Sam is always writing, in any genre, except on the Western Pennsylvania Sabbath - Steelers Sundays in the fall.
