Sam Zalutsky, MFA (screenwriting). Sam believes that dramatic writing, whether in a theater or on screen, is ultimately the same: dramatic stories grounded by strong character(s) with well-defined needs and wants, which use dialogue, conflict, and physical action, as well as lighting, staging, and dramatic structure, to convey a meaningful story to an audience. Sam's work as a writer and director, working with actors at every level, has helped him learn what directors, actors, and writers need to create a successful dramatic work. His strong critical eye developed from many years of reading scripts for leading New York independent film companies as well as five years of mentoring both screenwriters and playwrights at Spalding. In 2008, Sam was short-listed for the Independent Spirit Award's "Someone to Watch Award." His first feature film, You Belong to Me, which Variety called "A nifty little suspenser bordering on horror―a la Polanski's The Tenant and Rosemary's Baby," is currently distributed in North America on DVD (Wolfe), Pay Per View (Warner), and Logo. The UK DVD (Peccadillo Pictures) is available, and it will also be released in Australia, France, and Germany in 2009. The film premiered at Frameline, the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival, and screened at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, San Diego FilmOut (Audience Award, Best First Feature), NewFest (New York, Honorable Mention), and Outfest (LA), as well as numerous international film festivals. The script was a finalist for the Sundance Screenwriters Lab and the Richard Vague Award (NYU) and was nominated for Newfest's Vito Russo Award in 2006. Sam's short films have screened at dozens of festivals and won many awards. SuperStore aired on Reel New York, WNET's independent film showcase, and is distributed online by Cinequest.
