Hello. My name is Sam Kumiko Sheridan. I am currently based in NYC, born and raised.

I was born on a snowy February afternoon at St Vincent’s Hospital. I am half-Japanese and work in both languages. This is my favorite movie. This is my favorite animal. I enjoy writing in my diary, taking photographs on my Olympus, roller skating when I can, and telling stories. 

I studied directing at the National Film and Television School in England while completing a degree in Film/TV at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, where I recently graduated.

I focused on writing and directing during my time there, telling stories ranging from Skateboarding Culture in Japan to Teen Pregnancy in NYC.  I have since worked on Emmy Award winning television shows and feature films with various large-scale production companies (A24, Apple TV, MAX, Netflix, Prime).

I am always looking for new opportunities as I start my next chapter.
