I'm Samuel Hayman, a BA Hons in Media Production with a first-class degree from Salford University. I built a reputation as a strong long-form and short-form editor, with two pieces heavily credited by Lionsgate and Hollywood, and I later created a documentary in partnership with a Hollywood producer. Since then I’ve continued to create short-form content for various clients, building my portfolio through spare-time projects and gaining on-set experience. I pride myself on careful planning, efficient work, and staying calm under pressure, with industry-standard editing software knowledge to translate ideas into compelling visuals. I'm also a lifelong Manchester City fan, and I bring a keen eye for detail and deep club knowledge to my work. My passion for storytelling, dedication to DE&I, and a focused, neurodiversity-driven approach help me produce high-quality outputs for every project I’m involved in.
