“Sam has been a close collaborator on my most artistically and commercially successful projects. He is a gifted storyteller who I can count on to ensure nothing slips between the cracks, all the gaps are filled, and other fissure-based metaphors. In short, I have never been disappointed when placing absolute trust in the quality of his work, and he is a steadfast and professional presence in any creative team.”
