Sam Reetz is a NYC-based writer, actor, and media maker. She is the founder of Millennial Ethics Productions (MEP), an early-stage startup charting a new course for millennials with digital media that’s female-forward, peer-driven, and rooted in social impact.
Millennial Ethics made it’s formal debut at the Made in NY Media Center with their 2017 Creative>>Founders Lab cohort and IFP Week’s 2017 Marketplace. She is currently consulting on the narrative feature, THE HEART STAYS, in association with Amerinda, Inc., about a Native American girl who must choose between personal achievement and the traditional responsibilities of the old ways and recently covered a selection of narrative and social impact programming as press at the 35th Miami International Film Festival for Millennial Ethics' upcoming newspaper, ON THE MAP. She also moderated the panel on "Startups Revolutionizing the Film Industry", featuring Lauren Magura (Cinematcher) and Christina Chironna (FilmUp), at Imagine This Productions 2018 Girl Power Film & Media Summit. Next up, she'll be pitching JUST A SECOND at Atlanta Film Society /Screencraft Writers' Summit during the 2018 Atlanta Film Festival.
A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College and Wadham College/University of Oxford, she got her start as one of the team of interns behind Ramaa Moseley’s debut feature, THE BRASS TEAPOT (Magnolia Pictures/Atlantic Pictures). Most recently, she was 1st AD on the narrative short, CYCLE (from Anne Briggs and Marcus Johnson/DP Valentina Caniglia), Production Coordinator on the first season of TABLETALK (from Fishman Pictures in association with FullScreen Media; 2017 SeriesFest), and co-hosted (with The Artist Co-Op) the NYC People's Hub for the inaugural UN Global People's Summit + Social Good. She is the current Graphics Chair on the JHRTS-NY Board and part of the Social Media Committee on Jericho Project's Young Professionals Council.
Grateful for every opportunity to collaborate and showcase her work, Sam strives to use film and media as creative mediums to raise awareness, reshape, and challenge our thinking towards the status quo.

the approach: see things differently

How I'm Cast:
Often as the old soul in a young shell; someone who dares to think for herself but also of others. |

NOT ONE at Nitehawk
|
How I Create:
Each script/media project is approached through the lens of our humanity--its strengths and its limitations--a chance for audiences to relate to and empathize with the unheard stories, to see old stories in new ways, and, perhaps in the process, allow us to better understand our own.. |
|
How I Collaborate:
Great ideas require great teamwork to make them happen. When joining a crew to bring their creative vision to life, Sam's interdisciplinary approach allows each team member to feel heard while also placing priority on the heart of the story. This way the team's greater vision is realized in the most authentic and memorable way. |
