ABOUT

SamHel is a Los Angeles–based filmmaker, editor, and distributor known for his work in boundary-defying underground cinema. With over a decade embedded in the indie and extreme film landscape, he directs and produces both feature and short-form projects, handling every phase of the process — from casting and cinematography to post-production and physical release.

Through SamHel.com, he delivers horror, erotic, and experimental films to global audiences across digital platforms and boutique physical editions. He is also the founder of Bizarre Theater Releasing, a physical media label dedicated to preserving and amplifying unknown, underground, and DIY filmmakers. In addition, he curates A Baroque Film Fest, debuting this year at Eastwood PAC in Los Angeles as a celebration of transgressive cinema.

His work has been spotlighted in publications such as Horror Porn: La Fesse Cachée du Cinéma d'Exploitation, Horrorscope Magazine, Rue Morgue, Hustler, and others — with a filmography ranging from extreme horror to avant-garde performance documentation.

Available for freelance directing, camera operation, and editing.
