Samuel Radford

Sam "Rokstar" Radford, director, editor, and cinematographer to the stars, has been filming videos since 2007. What began as the fulfillment of a self-need for an aspiring artist, quickly shifted the career of Mr. Radford in 2009 when he shot his first industry video for rapper/actor Rocko the Don. Wind of Rokstar's work blew in the direction of rapper/producer, Future, who allowed him to take charge and shoot his very first music video, then to rapper 2 Chainz to shoot his first video as a solo artist. Ikoneq Films was birthed in 2008, as Rok and business partner, Eliot Miller, formed their own video production company. Their mutual passion for visual artistry and music video design continues to fuel the edginess and creativity of their film work. In 2011, with only a month's rent and a love for movies, Rok moved to Miami, Florida to pursue a career in filmmaking, second on his list of dreams; rivaled only by his love for music production. He and his partner were soon picked up by the South Florida mega production house, 305 Films, the largest film production company in Florida. By the end of his first month in Miami, Rok commanded a thirty-person set crew for the production of singer/songwriter/actor, Trey Songz music video, "Hail Mary", featuring Lil Wayne, Jeezy, and comedian, actor, and producer, Kevin Hart. During 2015, Radford started Rockflower Films, a commercial, video, and movie production company, as a subsidiary of Ikoneq Films. Rok's skill and eye for detail has taken him from United States, across the globe, to places such as Dubai, Maldives, Belgium, Costa Rica, and Venezuela, just to name a few. A host of the top artists, producers, and media personalities have graced the camera lens of Sam "Rokstar" Radford. His listing of celebrity clientele includes music moguls, P. Diddy, Timbaland, Outkast, and T-Pain; athletes Dwayne Wade and Serena Williams; actors, Robert Downey Jr., Mike Epps, Paula Patton, and Samuel Monroe; and brands Calvin Klein, Reebok, Monster Audio, and Seagram's Gin. Rok has also taken on the role of cinematographer to directors Ray Kay, Gil Green, Eif Rivera, Erik White, Henrik Sander and Dre Films, among others. With his expertise encompassing various genres, Radford is continuously sought after by those needing an "Ikoneq" touch.
