Samantha S. Stratton
Some Experience Required
MFA Thesis
I am a recent graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design. For my final thesis project, I created an original sitcom. The show was developed in the classroom, and then later worked on in a typical writers' room setting. The full pilot script is a standard half-hour, and for the video component of my thesis requirement, I created a shorter, episode zero.
About Me
Samantha means "listener," and as a producer and writer I'm always listening and looking for the next story to tell. I love comedy and stories that leave people feeling inspired.Â
