Sam Graydon, Founder
Sam Graydon began his journey in the Indie-Film world as a Writer and Director, transitioned into the Commercial world as a Cinematographer, and finally started Graydon Films - the culmination of 15 years of experience on set, in the editing suite, and in the writing room. As a visual artist, Sam has always been motivated by that which is creative. It began with drawing and painting and quickly grew into photography, lighting, design, screenwriting, collaboration, and, ultimately, visual storytelling. Over the last 15 years, Sam has carved out a career by being a communicator and creative director, especially when it comes to conveying ideas and executing them with a team. The collaborative process is what defines him. He enjoys the interaction, critical thinking, and creative problem solving within a team environment. His broad skillset allows him to empathize with many creative types. He prides himself in the ability to roll up his sleeves and be “hands on” with all facets of creation.
“Sam Graydon is a meticulous storyteller with a keen eye for the natural world. He uses available resources to find the best way to authentically and artfully represent your story on screen.”
