Sam P. Tricomo III is a Detroit-based writer and director and a 2025 graduate of the College for Creative Studies. His notable works include "Dog" (acquired by TUBI in 2024) and "Puke Bitch" (NFFTY Grant Winner). Sam blends experimental storytelling with character-driven narratives across genres, including horror, dark comedy, and drama.
I'm extremely passionate about the story because I think it's important to challenge people to explore sides of themselves that are taboo to think about. Some would say to question whether they had empathy or not was sociopathic, but I think it's more human than not doing so. I want people to be curious about themselves, wanting to know what they feel, and wondering why. Empathy is rare today, and I think it's because people are afraid of not being perfect. The show exists, visceral and thought-provoking, as a statement to its audience that we can find utopia only if we accept our darkness first.
