She loves stories that celebrate life and has been lucky enough to film with thrilling people. Some of her favorites include: a teenager who let scientists rewrite her DNA, a clothes dyer who forged passports so children could escape persecution, a 92-year-old entering a beauty pageant for the first time... and, of course, Britney Spears. Samantha is an Emmy and World Press Photo award winner and a Peabody award finalist. She also taught video storytelling at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. “Framing Britney Spears” is her first feature-length documentary.
