About the Filmmaker
Samuel Wright Smith is a multimedia artist, animator and filmmaker based in Harlem. Sam is interested in projects that blur imagined boundaries and explore connectedness. His animation work is primarily out-of-the-box physical media techniques such as watercolor, linocut print, collage cutout and oil pastel. Smith is interested in philosophies of social practice and dharma art.
His experimental animation work has screened at such festivals as DOCNYC and recently in a documentary produced by PBS. He is an NYU Tisch Film/TV graduate.
Samuel is a lover of city park sycamore trees, halal cart falafel sandwiches and (controversially) subway rats.
