Sam Lax
Director&Filmmaker
I'm a director and filmmaker with nearly 10 years experience creating video content for major broadcasters, global brands and digital platforms.
For the last four years I've been part of the BBC's in-house production team — directing, shooting and editing content for some of their biggest shows. I've worked with talent including Max Fosh, Munya Chawawa, Jacob Collier and Zara McDermott, filmed A-list artists for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, and created content for brands including Native Instruments, FIFA, Nike and Opihr Gin.
Before that I spent three years at Yahoo in Sydney doing the same across music, entertainment and travel.
I work end-to-end — from creative development and directing through to camera and edit — which means I can own a project completely or slot into a larger team wherever I'm needed. I'm equally at home on a one-man-band shoot or leading a crew.
My work spans documentary, live performance, brand content, music and comedy — the things I genuinely care about making.
