About
SAM PILLING • Director / Editor
I'm a film-maker living in East London, I graduated from Central Saint Martins in September last year, where I worked on projects ranging from experimental short films and animations to channel idents, music videos and commercials - Taking an elective in script-writing. During my time at CSM, I had a TV ident bought by MTV and won two D&AD student Awards, in the Music Video Category.
I am currently working full time in the Music Department at Pulse Films where I have been editing EPKs, filming live gigs & directing and editing small budget music videos.
Interests / Themes
The role that audio plays alongside film is of great interest to me. I like to arouse emotion in my viewers through the use of dark, sinister soundtracks and love to shoot on 16mm film.
Narrative is important and I love to tell stories through my work, seeking to engage the viewer in the lives of my characters. In the future I hope to expand upon my story telling by developing my script-writing skills.
Please get in contact if you're interested in collaborating on any projects or have any ideas that you want to develop.
Described by my peers, tutors and employers alike as an outgoing, friendly person with charisma and confidence, I am conscientious and hardworking and thrive in new situations, adapting quickly to new tasks.
I like to meet new people and enjoy working as part of a friendly creative environment.
