"Working with Sam Felman was a gift. He photographed our Academy FYC screening and appearance at La Femme Film Festival, where our film "The Window on Death Row" won Best Documentary, and the quality of his work elevated every part of our campaign. His images have been used across news coverage, festival announcements, and social media throughout our Oscar push, and they consistently drive interest, engagement, and visibility. He captured the atmosphere of a difficult conversation with myself, activist & actor Mike Farrell, and moderator Mo'Kelly about the death penalty with clarity and sensitivity, catching moments I did not even realize were unfolding.

Sam is steady, kind, and easy to collaborate with, and he has an instinct for being in the right place at the right time. His photos have already helped increase public attention for the film, and I have no doubt they will continue to influence Academy visibility and funding conversations. I would hire him again without hesitation."
