Hi there, I’m Samantha! I’m a practical and extremely creative individual who has recently graduated from EICAR International in Paris with a degree in Practical-Filmmaking, three Film/TV related internships and two internationally-screened short film sunder my belt. As a teenager I worked as an actress, predominantly in TV & Film with acting credits such as Doctors, Casualty, Grantchester and 2013 feature ‘The World’s End’.
