Meet The Winners: Samantha Scaffidi

As we continue with our winners interview, we’re with shots Co-Editor Jamie Madge talking to Samantha Scaffidi about her film Wait, which won a Gold Screen in our Charity Commercial category.
Tune in as Jamie chats to Samantha about how she found her directorial voice, and how her acting experience has helped her get the best from her actors. We’ll also be exploring how she created a perfectly balanced cocktail of immersive sound design and intuitive editing that generates the heartbreaking tension that makes Wait so impactful.
