BBC Four “My Friend Sam”
Completed a truly unique journey: two years of post production (from ingest to colour grading) for the documentary “My Friend Sam” for BBC Four Storyville’s Survivors series. Directed by Toby Reisz of Feasible Films.
As part of Storyville’s Survivors season, My Friend Sam: Living For the Moment is about an extraordinary man named Sam Frears. Sam, now 39 years old, was born with an extremely rare genetic disorder – Familial Dysautonomia – which left him with only a 50% chance of making it to his fifth birthday.
The film reveals a complex, engaging, exceptional person as he struggles with everyday life while pursuing his joint goals of getting his acting career back on track and finding love.
