Sam Brosnan is a writer-director based in Portland, Maine. His instinctually intimate style captures the human spirit and the natural world with empathy and artistry.

Growing up in the Maine woods provided Sam with time and space to dream up worlds both grounded and fantastic, inhabited by strange and wonderful characters inspired by the people he met daily in small-town life.

He has a BFA from Syracuse University, and a long background in documentary and commercial filmmaking, working with brands such as Nike, Adidas, and L.L. Bean. A recent film he shot, "Rick Parker, I’m Afraid", has screened at multiple festivals and won the Sundance Collab A Day in the Life of a Creator Challenge. His work has been shown at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art and the Farnsworth Art Museum, and his narrative films have been shown at the Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival, the Portland Film Festival, and the Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival. His film "DUAL" recently won Best Sci-Fi Short at Venice Shorts in LA.
