hello 👋

My name is Samantha Mannino and I have been working in video creating branded content for 10+ years. The skills I have developed span the full production and post-production process but I am specialized in Directing and Video Editing. As a creative I want anyone who works with me to feel welcomed. I believe that uplifting talent and making a great experience for everyone is the pathway to quality work. What an absolute privilege it is to help amplify voices and I don’t take that lightly. My personal work is centered around the midwest/Detroit, telling stories with woman leads, sports, fashion and recognizing beauty in the mundane.

Please reach out on my contact page if your interested in collaborating!
