About Sam

Hi there,

Thanks for checking out my page!

I’m a screenwriter based in Melbourne, Australia. I find mostly attracted to stories that offer a glimpse into the darker corners of the world, usually from a young adult lens. Regardless of genre, the most important thing to me are well-rounded and relatable characters. Without those, who is going to get invested enough to care about the plot?

I am a graduate of the Advanced Diploma of Professional Screenwriting at RMIT University, where I wrote my first feature film What Goes Around, which was released on Amazon Prime in June 2020. True to form, this was a teen thriller about obsession, revenge and questionable redemption.

In 2021 I co-wrote the feature film ‘Shredded’, which has been optioned by Iris Arc Pictures. I have many other projects in the works, which you can read about on this website.

In addition to my screenwriting work, I also have a passion for song and lyric writing. You give me the beats, I’ll give you a killer melody and lyrics!

I’m always looking to collaborate or discuss all things film, teen terror and pop music, so please email me at samhamiltonwriter@gmail.com to get in touch!

Let’s Work Together
