About
Hi there! I’m Saniya Samatkyzy—a writer, director, producer, and editor with a hands-on, collaborative approach to storytelling. I thrive in dynamic project environments, coordinating crews, shaping scripts, and guiding productions from concept to final cut while keeping budgets and timelines in check.
My short films include The Audition, Excuse, Hidden, With You, and Umit, and I’ve collaborated with large casts and crews using Sony FS5 and ARRI cameras, with Adobe Creative Suite and DaVinci Resolve handling post-production. I’ve gained experience across the USA and China through immersive film work and teaching environments, always eager to learn and grow with every new project.
