“For many filmmakers Sam is a friend, a mentor and a colleague. A career spanning four decades, Sam has edited, directed, and produced a string of award-winning films. He’s mentored countless media makers, and has planted seeds that have inspired many more to express their own independent voice.”
— Leslie Fields-Cruz, BPM executive director
