Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Blumenfeld is a film and video production professional with a decade of hands-on experience across production, operations, and comedy development in New York City. A BFA graduate from NYU Tisch, he has led student and professional productions as a writer-director, coordinated logistics for Sundance-feature teams, and managed production, post, legal, and finance workflows at Maven Pictures. Sam blends creative instincts (actor, writer, director) with practical operations—booking talent transport at festivals, running broadcast stat feeds for MLS, and producing sketch comedy that grew into a popular campus troupe. His background ranges from set-level production assistant work on TV and indie features to head-of-comedy roles shaping development strategy. Comfortable both behind the camera and in the office, he brings a producer’s attention to detail and a performer’s sense of timing—often aiming to “work hard for a laugh.”
