"It was also really nice to have someone holding boundaries on set on our behalf and creating a space of calm and clarity amidst the chaos of the shoot. She had an intuitive understanding of when to step in and when to let the process take place organically. Always knowing she was on the side lines for support if we needed anything was a big relief."

"Sam was exceptionally attentive and receptive to all that was said and unsaid. She was compassionate, insightful and creative in her responses to any concerns or queries I'd had. I appreciated her clarity and the deliberate carving out of time to address these issues."
