Sam Washington

When Sam was 7 years old, he accidentally wanderedonto the set of Magnum PI while it was being filmed in his hometown in Kent, and he has been obsessed with film-making ever since…

Sam won the Smoke and Mirrors 48 hour film competition with his short film ‘Lost and Found’.... Gary Szabo – MD of Smoke & Mirrors and 48 Hour Competition Organiser – as he announced the winning film said “One of the judges wanted to give this film a perfect 10, but we had to talk them out of it as that would mean someone would have made the perfect 48 hour film and we would have to shut the competition down. So, they gave it a 9.5”

With his two short films, 'Lost & Found' and 'Lab Rats', Sam has picked up 10 awards including an Audience Choice Award at Palm Springs Shortfest and Best Short Film Awards at various other festivals.

Sam’s recent advertising credits include an all singing all dancing Yorkshire Tea ad for BMB and ads for brands such as Chevrolet, MTV and Adidas.

Sam was a guest director on an episode of 'The Face' for Sky Living and had to write and direct an ad Campaign for Maserati cars whilst being filmed and followed by team leads Naomi Campbell, Caroline Winberg and Erin O’Connor.

Sam's work has as much energy as he does; he's a snowboarding, surfing skateboarder.
