Performing and making people laugh has always been it. I was a hammy toddler turned hyperfocused theatre kid who would only get passing grades if I could be in shows. So once improv came into the picture, and film, TV, stand-up, fugheddaboutit.

"TRYING"
Sam created and stars in
dramedy short film "Trying"
Filled with heart, humor, and a handful of expletives, “Trying” follows Meg, a millennial painter with ADHD, as she navigates her life on the way to an important job interview.
Sam wrote, starred and produced "Trying" which serves as the debut for her production company SamSkape Productions Inc. The film was shot by an all-woman crew to raise awareness around ADHD in girls and women, with a series version in the works.
Once I started working on projects that had some sort of societal impact, or collaborated with fellow creatives who wanted to make a mark on the world, that's when I realized my purpose in the industry: telling stories that matter in a relatable, funny way. So I started a production company so I could make them.
