Senior Editor & Post-Production Manager at Nine Entertainment
28+ years cutting Australia's biggest shows
25+ years as a senior editor across Nine's Melbourne operations — cutting the network's biggest entertainment, sport, game shows, and variety programs. From Grand Slam tennis to the Olympic Games, from The Footy Show to Carols by Candlelight. Knowledgeable across EVS replay and IP Director systems alongside core editing. The go-to editor when the deadline was tight and the stakes were high.
Stepped into a hybrid role spanning editing, post-production management, and media administration. Oversees post-production workflows, user management, and rostering across the operation. Manages AVID media infrastructure and supervises videotape operations — keeping the engine room running while still getting hands-on in the edit.
Responsible for the entire AVID media ecosystem at Nine — from storage and ingest to user access and system reliability. The person everyone calls when the media won't play.
Hands-on training in corporate video production — camera, lighting, editing, and post — building the skills that would launch a career at Nine.
Broad media studies covering broadcasting, production, and communication — the theoretical backbone behind the practical craft.
When he's not in the edit suite, Sam's firing up the 3D printer — designing, prototyping, and turning ideas into real objects layer by layer.
Takes to the skies with drones for aerial photography and videography. Because sometimes the best angle is 120 metres straight up.
Not content with just cutting video — Sam dives into code, automating workflows and building tools. A proper creative technologist.
Exploring the world with a camera (and probably a drone) in tow. Always chasing the next great location, story, and adventure.
28 years of live TV means Sam doesn't panic when the clock's ticking. Cool under pressure? That's an understatement.
Docklands office, Melbourne coffee, and the best city in Australia. Wouldn't have it any other way.
When the AVID crashes at 5:58pm and the 6 o'clock bulletin goes live in 2 minutes — Sam is the person they call.
Based in Melbourne. Available for freelance, consulting, and post-production roles.
