Hey, my name is Sam Fehr! I am a 12th grade student at San Leandro High School and I am a proud member of the San Leandro Academy of Multimedia. (SLAM). With SLAM I am able to express my creativity through film making.
My passion is to direct and write films. I am really dedicated to doing this because I love storytelling and I like to make people feel emotions and the feelings of the characters I create. I feel like we as people become better when we share other’s emotions. We have a clearer more accepting view of peoples differences. As Bill English says at the San Francisco Playhouse, “Our theater is an empathy gym, where we come to practice our powers of compassion.” I feel like whenever I direct or write a film I am creating an opportunity for people to practice compassion and to improve themselves and the lives around them. My goal in life is to make the world a better place.
