Sam Schöttner

Director | Editor

I am an experienced commercial director and documentary filmmaker, driven by the art of visual storytelling. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm out on my mountain bike, finding inspiration in the great outdoors. With a focus on authenticity, I bring my passion for both mediums to create impactful commercials and documentaries that hopefully give insight into people, communities and parts of the world you wouldn’t have otherwise had.

Having worked on all sorts of projects ranging from directing commercials and documentaries, editing, colour grading and camera operating. I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades, master of some!

I’ve worked on projects which have screened at: Kendal Mountian Film Festival, RTS Student awards, Leeds International Film festival, Nahemi EOS, Nahemi and more.
