" 'Samuel' is a personal story, based on my brother, Sam, who struggles with agoraphobia and OCD. I wanted to use my first opportunity as a director to give a voice to my brother, and others like him, to show a real and heartfelt depiction of these often crippling illnesses.
 

"Samuel" is not so much a plot-driven film, but an experience. I hope that by bringing people into this character's space, and up close to his daily struggles of living with these problems, it may inspire others to confront their own problems or to tell their stories."
