Samuel Nam is an Australian film producer, writer, and director. Born in Sydney, he made his passion for pictures into a hobby as early as the age of 16. With some later encouragement and mentorship from a film producer, Sam was determined to turn that hobby into his life-long career.

Sam began his film work right away, shooting corporate videos and TV commercials, which became the basis of his own video production company at the age of 17. Soon after, Sam found himself working with iconic digital agencies around Australia, directing online videos and TVCs for the next ten years.

In 2012, Sam wrote and directed his first short film "Wanted", a thriller with a budget of only $80. For "Wanted", Sam partnered with Producer Paul Choi, and the pair would go on to produce more films together, including Suicide Toilet, and Give.

Sam's short film "Love, Dad" (Produced by Kevin Kim) won the Silver Award for Best Film at the International Cause Film Festival in Sydney, Australia in 2017.
