Sam zoellner

Director.

WRITER.

PRODUCER.

PHOTOGRAPHER.

TRIPLET.

TALKER.

Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, I have been passionate about films since I could walk. As a triplet, I had no shortage of siblings to direct in puppet shows and plays for a family audience. This passion has only grown as I have. I now have many short films under my belt with many more on the horizon in 2024.

I’ve been writing for over a decade, mostly screenplays and short stories, studying under Speer Morgan of the Missouri Review while I attended the University of Missouri. I have written all the films I’ve directed.

I’ve worked as both a producer and director of photography on many films, returning to a few frequent collaborators often.

Other mediums include performance art, poetry, sculpture, and graphic design.

When not making films, I fill my time with travel, concerts, foster cats, cooking, reading, and the piano. I am very close to my large family, who remain my strongest supporters.
