About Sam
Sam joined the team in July of 2022 after graduating from Arts University Bournemouth.
It was only a matter of days between him walking across that graduation stage, wondering what his next step would be, and having his interview with the Mad Dogs team. From working in retail, behind bars, in factories, on building sites and multiple other jobs; Sam has really found what he loves.
When not on location, Sam is full time staff at Mad Dogs working hard on preparing equipment for kit hire. Surrounding himself with high end industry standard equipment on a daily basis, working with the team to ensure all the kit is sent out at a high standard and has been maintained correctly to be exactly what the clients require.
In his first few years in the industry Sam has already gained multiple impressive broadcast credits. Working on location and in studio on shoots for the BBC, ITV, Channel4, Smithsonian Channel and Discovery. Most notably Sam spent twenty weeks living in Alaska as series DIT for Ice Airport Alaska and has worked multiple stints on Gold rush, Discovery Channel.
Sam once fell out of a plane at 15,000 ft for fun…
and charity!
Personal Profile
I am a dedicated and enthusiastic member of the Mad Dogs team. I always perform professinally and to the best of my ability with an eye for attention to detail. I welcome new challenges that could develop my knowledge and experience on set and location. Striving for greatness, exhibiting resilience, initiative, and perseverance when tackling all tasks are all qualities I take with me to every job. Being employed by Maddogs Television grants me vital access to a wide range of equipment, helping to advance my understanding and workflow of a production, along with the support from the team.
My parents have fond memories of me sitting in our toy box in front of the TV when I was younger watching my favourite kids shows, however I realised I had a love for film and tv when my dad surprised me and my brother, returning from work with the whole James Bond collection on VHS. Since then I have always had a real passion for all kinds of media especially video games, tv, film and music. This passion has really pushed me to be more independent, break away into my own interests and hobbies to pursue a career I really love.
