Samuel Siegel
- Producer
- Writer
- Editor
Writer/Director in film and Director of indie film production company WAW.group. Born in New York, grew up in Cornwall and now based in London.
He graduated from Met Film School, London in 2015 and since has continued to produce short films, commercials and work on features.
For his latest short Weir D, Samuel has taken a step back from a more conventional narrative and focused on making a short film which is entirely of it's own world. In an interview about 'Weir D', Sam was asked "Why?". "Exactly!" He replied. When asked to elaborate he told the interviewer "Well you asked a silly question, so I gave you a silly answer."
But it was not a silly question, nor was it a silly answer. In fact it was never even asked, and the interview never actually took place. In fact, he made up the whole story in just a few minutes to avoid having to write anything about himself in his bio. He wouldn't know where to start. It's been a crazy few years and an even crazier lot longer than that.
He would not write about his achievements because they never reflect where he feels he is at now, even though his previous film 'Where the Roses Grow Blue' was official selection at 7 film festivals around the world.
He's proud though. Of himself and the people he loves. It may not seem like a big deal to an onlooker but he's proud of his last film - 'Weir D'. It's the film he was supposed to make now. For him. It's a reflection of him in his current state and it's fearless, like he needs to be going forward.
