My work:
A Weekend Away
Creator: Sam Cieri
Two strangers rent the same Air BnB.Production: The three of us were together watching a friends cabin for a few days. We decided to make something while we were all together so we took the camera and spent 2 days improvising this film. We started shooting with no script or idea what the story would be or what we would end up with. At the end of the weekend we had a few hours of improvised footage that was pieced together into the current narrative.Actors:Mackenzie Lesser-RoyJohn HaysDirecter/Editer:Sam Cieri

Should Have Danced - Music Video
Creator: Sam Cieri
Official video for Nicotine Dolls song "Should Have Danced". We had a 2 day shoot and a budget of $100. The idea was a that feeling of approaching that person you see in passing and you are struck. That approach can sometimes feel like it can go for days and miles.
