He's written for Netflix’s comedy magic show MAGIC FOR HUMANS and the CBS Diversity Showcase, worked as writer’s assistant for Comedy Central’s PROBLEMATIC, and nabbed over 25 million views on viral videos he’s produced.
Sam recently sold his new animated show to [network redacted - stay tuned!] and last year directed, produced, edited and starred in FAIRVIEW, a mockumentary pilot about a small town City Council election, loosely based on his experience running for President of Harvard's Student Council as a joke, accidentally winning by a lot, and then resigning. He re-edited the show into a short film, which has been officially selected for 16 festivals and won 14 Awards, including 5 for Best Comedy and 4 for Best Actor (Sam playing a worse version of himself). FAIRVIEW was reviewed by Film Daily as "the political satire we need." Learn more about FAIRVIEW and its festival successes, and watch the trailer here: Sam Clark For City Council.
