My name is Sam Snead and I started YellowShark Visuals, LLC, a media production business where I work with my own clients and also work as a contractor for other businesses and artists. I've worked professionally in video production for 10 years as a cinematographer, director of photography, camera operator, and editor. I've worked multiple full time jobs in the industry and have learned a lot from other creative people, so I made the leap to creating on my own. I'm fully focused, driven, and passionate when working on videos. I leave my ego at the door, and I listen. I understand that filmmaking is a subjective medium, and there are multiple ways to tell a story. I take constructive criticism and my own skillset to the finish line to help people achieve their personal and business goals through the art of filmmaking.
