Sam Claitor

Sam was born and raised in South Louisiana and was often caught drawing cartoons in class. Life lead him to study business and design at Louisiana State University, and eventually to co-found an ad agency that he later sold. That’s where he got a knack for the business side of the arts. His background in illustration and graphic design lead to his work as a VFX artist where he worked on projects like Game of Thrones, , Star Trek Into Darkness,, and Blue Ruin. After transitioning into management as a coordinator he soon partnered with companies like Marvel and Universal Pictures. He worked with Gentle Giant Studios during their acquisition by 3D Systems. More recently he co-founded the Louisiana-based production company Fable House where he produced a number of projects like Zombie Sharks, A Deadly Affair, The Parallax Theory, The Long Shadow, and Desolation. His hands-on producer knowledge translates well into delivering exactly what filmmakers need when it comes to visual effects. Sam’s credits include visual effects supervising the TV series Paradise Lost for Paramount and on-set supervising NCIS: New Orleans for CBS, producing a number of films for networks like Lifetime and NBC Universal, and commercials for brands like Toyota.
