Sam David

Possessing a passionate sense of social justice, it's what Sam David is all about: human rights, racial equality, and LGBTQ advocacy). Widely known as a civil rights/issues activist-advocate; writer/editor, producer, and strategic negotiator, the veteran female entertainment exec heads her eponymous talent management firm and literary agency. Repping screenwriters and scriptwriters (along with running Black World Studios), Sam specializes in creating and developing multicultural material, true-life life rights, and original historic and landmark scripts into TV, film, stage, documentary, and book projects. She embraces her niche studio production work with a unique blend of old-school, hands-on management, and cutting-edge strategic thinking, fusing her bullish tenacity and zen-like quality of business financial management with creativity that is far off the beaten path. She's edgy, unorthodox, and unconventional with an ultra-low profile (by being largely inconspicuous); her quiet, unpretentious demeanor - signature black tee's, well-worn jeans, and cowboy boots - belies her New York City roots. As the highly committed producer and studio head who oversees an elite and loyal clientele of writers, screenwriters, scriptwriters, playwrights, directors, composers and lyricists, columnists, actors, musical directors, and other professionally accomplished personalities, it is Sam's unique creativity and imagination that allows her to catapult controversial concepts to new avenues of exposure. What Sam looks for in a writer or a screenwriter or in an intellectual material is something that challenges her, something that breaks new ground, something that allows her to flex her creative marketing muscle. From this insight comes superior communication, Sam believes, and her intuitive understanding is shared in the spirit of wanting to see clients succeed well beyond their wildest dreams while bringing passion projects to successful fruition. "Clients have got to think fast in this business, and they've got to keep reinventing themselves (and their projects and priorities) to stay on top," Sam points out. "Innovative marketing, vision, direction, and a finely tuned strategy are so important; I put a tremendous amount of thought into every individual's writing career before we even discuss new projects, working with extraordinarily gifted individuals who will let me represent their careers and focus them towards new directions that they never thought possible." Having long been married to her work, her work is her passion. In many ways, Sam has developed a unique 'holistic approach' to effective production management and client empowerment. With an eclectic and widely diversified (and frequently provocative) project base that has repeatedly allowed her to be a truly dedicated quarterback - working tirelessly on behalf of her clients - Sam delivers the insight and attention to detail that every client hopes for, with uncompromising passion and the personal service every talent needs. She is the type of person who crosses oceans for people, which is exactly why she travels the extra miles - along with a readiness to go through hell and back - on behalf of her clients. As Manager, Sam David is attached as Producer to all of her clients' projects (per contractual agreement with them).
