About

Sam Klein — Filmmaker, Editor, Director
Sam Klein 2026

I'm a filmmaker and editor with a decade of credits across streaming documentary, independent film, and brand work. Seven years on set, seven in post, between New York and Los Angeles. Recent projects include Mr. McMahon (Netflix), 100 Foot Wave (HBO), and The Kingdom (Disney+/ESPN), premium documentary series where I've worked in associate and assistant editor roles. I've also edited and assistant edited for Chanel and Art21's IRL/URL series.

Outside the streaming world, I make my own films. I directed, shot, and edited Another Work is Possible, which won Best Feature at the Maine Outdoor Film Festival, and Swing Country, a short documentary tracking the 2020 election from inside Wisconsin. My sci-fi short Incoming, which I wrote, directed, and edited, was featured by Gizmodo.

On set, I came up through lighting and grip on feature films, branded content, and music videos for artists like Ghost, Jay Rock, and blink-182.

Outside of work, I love chasing my twins around the playground with my wife and hunting for the best slice of pizza.
