About me

After more than 15 years of experience working within the arts, I have honed my skills into directing, producing and generating creative solutions for small to large companies who wish to incorporate video as part of their company’s communications. I have worked in several countries around Europe for multinational companies such as Electrolux Professional and B&B Italia making TV commercials, corporate videos, documentaries, social media content, training videos, product launches, and videos for advertising and marketing campaigns. My strongest assets are my imagination, resourcefulness and ability to understand and meet clients needs and objectives, assuring the delivery of projects on time and on budget. I have an eye for clarity and beauty and the ability to write exciting and innovative communications. www.sambirtfilms.com
