Samuel Clemens Long is not Mark Twain… in this incarnation. Like a flower pushing through asphalt, in between the rest of his filmic skills, blossoms Sam’s screenwriting. Wit, acerbic repartee and a “nothing’s holy” lettre de marque all combine to create rich stories and staggering new worlds. To date Sam has written five features, two television shows and has participated in several writing rooms.
