Sam Morgan is the writer/director behind many short films, as well as the upcoming feature “Death, Love, & Birthdays.” The film, his debut feature, is a passion project that marks a first-time creative transition away from short films and online content. Throughout high school, Sam distinguished himself as a promising filmmaker and creator, taking home awards from the Austin Film Festival (Young Filmmakers Competition 2021), Atlanta High School Film Festival (Best Overall 2023 and 2024), and All American High School Film Festival (Best Vlog 2022, Best Micro-Movie 2023, Best Comedy 2024). He founded the YouTube channel Picture’s Up Productions in late 2020 (originally a movie review channel). However, following the success of the first Picture’s Up original film, “k.”, the channel shifted gears; today, Picture’s Up Productions is a crew of student filmmakers dedicated to sharing stories through film while also illuminating what goes on behind the camera.
