HI,
I'M SAM CHUA!
I am a film producer
born and based in Singapore.
​
I have produced short films, music videos and commercials,
and sometimes also production manage, and act / model.
​
I now work at Potocol.
Producing works
I was first introduced to the world of filmmaking on an exchange programme at NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 2017.
​
Since then, I've been fortunate to work with many inspiring, talented creatives, and was able to be a better producer by training at the Rotterdam Lab, Busan Asian Film School, and Full Circle Lab Philippines.
