Sam Hancock’s feature debut was as director, producer and co-writer of Being Us, a dramatic love story about a woman living with multiple personalities. Starring Hollywood staple Alanna Ubach, and slated for a July 2014 release by Gravitas Ventures, Being Us was hailed by LA Weekly as being “grittier than Silver Linings Playbook,” and by Examiner.com as “A drama of great quality.” Prior to that project, he directed a number of short films including San Jose Short Film Festival audience award winner Shipping & Handling and the Cinemasports standout Therapy has its Limits. He also worked in a number of creative and technical roles in the San Francisco Bay Area production scene, including winning best cinematography from the 48 Hour Film Project for his work as the director of photography in the short film Solitude.

Hancock started acting in professional theater productions in his teens and holds a B.F.A from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where he worked with such theater/film/TV legends as Gerald Freedman, David Petrarca, Romulus Linney, Joe Mantello, and Terrence McNally. This background gives him valuable insight into the craft of bringing characters to life. Often referred to as an “actor’s director,” Hancock focuses on collaborating with artists who bring their own sense of creativity to the table, consistently eliciting stellar performances from his casts.
