Sam Strong
Sam Strong is part filmmaker, part nerd, and esports fanatic; with a background in architecture, theatre, and treatment design (experiences that have shaped him and his 'accidental' career path to where he is today) he is a member of Chrome's creative team.
His award-winning narrative short films tackle some of the most sensitive subjects in unconventional ways. His playful style, keen sensitivity, and sharp eye for design have all created a variety of brand films - ranging from showcasing a Ford rally car struck by lightning to a world-renowned artist forging a whiskey bottle for royalty, to giving the nation's Olympians the director's chair to share what really makes them tick.
Constantly blurring the lines between work and play, Sam heads up creative at Chrome pwrd by Gallium (CPG), Chrome's gaming and esports division, where alongside a few fellow geeks, he leads the charge on all things gaming. Drawing on his documentary roots, Sam recently directed his first documentary, which won the Grand Prix at ESI's inaugural film festival.
When Sam isn't making things up for brands or himself, he is reading stories that other people have made up: sci-fi scripts, fantasy films, and blockbuster books all top of the agenda (or he's head down in a game of Dora or Baldur's Gate 3).
