About me:

Born in Charleston, WV -- Sam Holdren holds a B.S. in Communications and a B.A. in English: Professional Writing from West Virginia State College (now University), along with an M.F.A. in Film & Media Arts from Temple University. Holdren has screened work across the United States, and has worked with several different artists in film and theater. While Holdren is a writer/director/producer at heart, his versatility extends to consulting, graphics, and script doctoring as well. However, if a good opportunity is available, Holdren will sweep the floors and make coffee if need be. His goals include mixing art and commerce in whatever capacity he may earn.
