Intro:

Hello! I’m Sam (24, they, them) and I’m a recently-graduated art-school nerd with big dreams (more nightmares I guess) and a deep passionate drive to show and tell narratives that leave people chilled to the bone and twisted in the mind.

That’s 50% of what this account is for.

I want to connect with other open-minded & non-judgmental artists/creatives but at least encourage any out there (also myself) to keep making art.

Keep creating. Keep making. Keep imagining. Keep reading. Keep watching. Keep trying. Keep existing.

📜 Long Story Short:

I took a Music Video Production class and had a BLAST (safely) gently setting and then heavily destroying a beautiful table setting (made of thrifted and used items I already had) in slow motion.

Suuuper cathartic homework assignment. I definitely relieved some stress, haha!

🗓️— Feb. ‘22

(Clearly i’m feeling nostalgic)

I love the surrealism of night-shoots. I’m an insomniac anyways so spending all night focused & functioning on filming is a nice alternative to laying awake in bed all night for me.

These were on breaks on a pal’s thesis film. Had a blast helping out!
