Let's Take A Meeting!
"Working with Sam was a dream come true. He took a chance on me when I was a young writer still living in Canada with no credits. Together, we developed the pilot and the pitch, and six months later, we got a series order in the room. A year and a half after that, we were going to the Emmys. That is what you call a producer." - Noah Pink, writer/Co-Executive Producer Nat Geo's "Genius"
"Sam Sokolow is one of the most influential producers bringing me high-end content. Sam is a force of nature. If you're a young creative trying to break into the business, Sam has the energy and know how to get you into the game."
- Peter Micelli, CEO Range Media Partners and former partner at CAA
It isn't easy breaking down the door in Hollywood, building your career, producing your project or elevating your production community.
I have spent 25+ years developing, selling, and producing successful television series, feature films, and premium digital content. I help communities grow and compete in the global film and television production industry. If I can be of service to you, your project or your community, I am offering you my expertise and guidance.
I take books and turn them into Emmy Award-winning global event television series. I take original ideas and scripts, and sell them to the biggest outlets in the world. I nurture creative ideas from thin air and help turn them into successful shows and movies. I am the architect, builder, and manager of a global film & TV workforce development program that's worked with over 50 film commissions around the world. I am Professor of Practice in film production, responsible for building a world-class curriculum at one of America's top universities. I make independent projects as well as studio projects. That's what I do. And I am now available to consult on your project, on your career, or for your production community. I am also available to speak at your film festival, conference, or event.
-I am a two-time Emmy Award-nominated producer and an award-winning filmmaker. I've spent the last 25+ years producing and selling premium television series and feature films in Hollywood and around the world. I also produce a successful YouTube channel. And I'm a professor of practice at Clemson University. I am an executive producer on one of the biggest television series of the last decade - GENIUS, which airs on Nat Geo and Disney+. I have built and run a global workforce training program that supports film production communities around the world. I have real-world knowledge and experience to share with you, and I am excited to do so.
Your first step is to set up an initial consultation. I'm used to working with entertainment execs who don't have much time so we can, and will, get a lot done in a half hour. During our initial meeting, I will evaluate your idea, vision and goals based on my decades of experience, and if your idea is something I believe you can sell, or if you need real-world career advice, or if I can help your community, I will provide you a quote for our continued work together. My clients include streaming services, television networks, studios, production companies, and individuals.
I am always in production so book your time now.
"In all the years I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Sam Sokolow, the one thing I appreciate the most is his enthusiasm and passion for the creative material. Because when you finally get through the impossible process of someone agreeing to make your project, having a partner who truly, truly loves making movies and television in your corner makes all the difference in the world. Sam is just that guy… and he’s also one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet." - Craig Doyle, writer/Executive Producer Freeform's "Grown-ish"

In our initial consultation, we will discuss your goals, business or creative needs, or your specific project. If your own project or production company, we will discuss your idea's viability, identify potential partners, outlets, financiers and distributors, and make a plan to develop your idea so that it is ready to compete. If for your community, we will make a plan. I only work at the highest level and with world-class talent, and my goal is to elevate your career, business, or community, and we will work to that level.

If, after the initial consultation, we agree to continue working together, we will make a plan for you to achieve your goals. This can include to full development of your idea to get it in world-class professional shape to pitch to actual outlets, financiers and distributors. This can be a plan for your production company or community. We will have you ready to compete in the global entertainment marketplace. We can also make a long-term plan for your career or business goals in the entertainment industry.
"Sam Sokolow’s thorough and focused development skills immediately put me at ease the first day we began working together on our limited series, and I’ve always appreciated his creative vision as a writer and producer to help shape my work to be as strong as possible. He’s given detailed and thoughtful notes each step of the way – from concept to outline to script – and now that we’re ready to take the project to market, I feel confident with an established and knowledgeable producer shepherding it through." - Dana Brawer, writer Crypt TV's "Water's Edge"

"As a relatively new writer, I had the privilege of benefiting from the depth of Sam’s experience, knowledge, and position in the industry as we developed one of my projects together. My work as a writer matured immensely as he lent his expertise to the shape and scope of the project. We are currently developing together again, and I am truly grateful for his thoroughness, focus, and creative energy as a producer." - Liz Cotone, writer/MFA Writing program at USC's School of Cinematic Arts
Nat Geo's GENIUS is an Emmy Award winning television series that I recently developed and currently executive produce.
"I have worked with Sam through the majority of my career in TV and feel lucky as hell. Sam is a fabulous creative partner, tenacious salesman and one of the most positive people I’ve ever met. His knowledge of all aspects of this nutball business combined with his primary purpose to make art rather than talk about it, makes him utterly unique. Listen to this man! I have." - John Lehr, writer/Executive Producer Hulu's "Quick Draw"
