My name is Sam, founder of SamVerge a small team dedicated to assisting independent filmmakers who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next move. Instead of chasing random opportunities, I help you understand where you are, where you want to go, and the smartest path to get there.
This is not motivation. This is strategy.
1. Direction & Positioning
I help filmmakers understand where they truly fit in the industry and what direction makes sense for their goals festivals, funding, distribution, or career advancement so they stop wasting time on the wrong paths.
2. Strategic Thinking
Together, we break down your situation and think long-term. I help you see the bigger picture of your career, not just your next film, so every move you make builds momentum instead of confusion.
3. Clear Action Plans
I outline practical, step-by-step plans that show you exactly how to move from where you are now to where you want to be whether that’s securing funding, building visibility, or preparing your next project.
4. Career Positioning & Growth
I help you position yourself professionally so decision-makers, funders, and collaborators take you seriously. This is about building a career that grows with each project, not starting from zero every time.
