About
I’m Sam Jinks, a BA Hons Film and Television graduate (2:1) from the University of Bristol, and I love bringing stories to life through documentary-style craft and hands-on production. I’ve directed and edited my own films and earned the Film Departmental award for best documentary, which shaped my approach to clear storytelling and strong visual direction.
Since graduating, I’ve worked across creative collaborations and fast-paced hospitality roles while continuing to develop my film and media skills. I’ve contributed photography and directed videos with Snapshot, including a video showcase for Bristol-based fashion designers, and I’ve also been involved in event and production work—giving me the organisation, communication, and practical problem-solving needed to deliver projects confidently within a brief and budget.
