Sam Skempton

Sam Skempton developed a keen interest in film-making in his teens. From the age of 14 he made Films constantly using Hi-8 tape, with a notable interest in the action and horror genres. His early amateur works were cut together using a VHS player with a portable CD player plugged in to lay on sound effects. He continued working within these means up until he went to University. During University he produced a number of works including a short documentary and a short thriller. Since graduating in 2007 he has been involved in a range of jobs in the industry, from volunteering as crew on features and music videos to directing and producing his own publicly-screened horror short The Love of Night and shooting and editing promo videos for the Graffiti Life art company and KCIL among others. From 2008 he took up acting and subsequently trained in professional acting at the ASA drama school in Camden, London. Sam has appeared in short Films, Independent Features, a TV Commercial and a Music Video. Sam was hired as Cinematographer and Editor on the feature film Project Evolution (which is now available on Amazon Prime video UK). He has since continued producing his own films and is working on scripts for further horror shorts.
