Sam Kolder is a world-renowned filmmaker that inspired a generation of content creators from all around the world

I wanted to create my own path and learn through real-world experience. After being rejected from film school, I decided to teach myself by diving into projects and experimenting with storytelling techniques.

My style came from years of experimenting and drawing inspiration from my love for travel and adventure. I focused on using transitions, sound design, and pacing to make my videos immersive and engaging.

I use high-end cameras like Sony and Canon models, along with DJI drones to capture incredible shots. For editing, I rely on Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to bring everything together.

As my content gained traction online, brands noticed and reached out to collaborate. I’ve always focused on creating high-quality, impactful work, which helped open those doors.

Touring with The Chainsmokers is definitely up there. It was an amazing mix of music, filmmaking, and traveling the world, and it really pushed me creatively.

Focus on finding your own unique style and keep practicing. You don’t need film school to succeed—just passion, persistence, and the drive to keep improving every day.
