About Sam Pinnelas

Sam was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, where his love of cinema emerged from an early age, thanks in large part to Central Florida's world-renown art house theater Enzian, where he spent his summers as a camp counselor for their KidFest program. He moved to Orange, California, to pursue a degree in Film Production at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. Upon graduating, he formed the production company Too Lemon with two partners, and together they have produced countless short films, music videos, web series, corporate videos, comedy sketches, etc. Sam's short films have screened across the country at numerous film festivals, and he was selected as a semi-finalist for NBC's Writer's on the Verge program and Warner Bros.
