About Sam
Bio
I am a director, VFX supervisor, and the founder of SOKRISPYMEDIA, a production company and YouTube channel with over 3.1 million subscribers and 750 million views, best known for the viral Chalk Warfare series - currently being developed into a first person shooter videogame.
My team and I frequently collaborate with YouTube creator MrBeast, delivering VFX for dozens of his videos. Notably, we completed the effects for the record-breaking "Squid Game Recreation" in just 10 days, breaking the record for the most-viewed YouTube video in 24 hours and winning our team a Streamy Award for best visual effects.
In television, I led the development of a remote pre-visualization pipeline for HBO’s The Last of Us (Season 1) during the pandemic. This enabled real-time collaboration on the show’s most complex sequences and was later published as a paper at SIGGRAPH 2023.
