Bio

Samantha Levenshus is a writer and producer who has worked across mediums on projects for TV, film, comics, theater, and podcasts. Sam grew up all over the country, but spent her formative years in San Antonio, TX where she developed a deep love for Tex-Mex and the misguided aspiration to become an actor. After earning a BFA from CalArts, she discovered she’d rather create characters on the page than the stage and has since developed projects with Weimaraner Republic, 3Pas Studios, Pollinate Entertainment, and Madison Wells Media.

Most recently, Sam wrote for the series GOOD AMERICAN FAMILY for Hulu starring Ellen Pompeo, Mark Duplass, and Christina Hendricks. She was invited to stay on the show through production, working from prep through post on multiple episodes. Previously Sam has worked on shows for SyFy, Netflix, Nickelodeon, and Amazon. In comics, she co-wrote the first six issues of Steve Aoki’s comic book series NEON FUTURE with Eisner-winner Jim Krueger.

As a producer with Elevate Entertainment, Sam has developed film and television projects including a feature adaptation of Robert Lukin’s LOVELAND starring Jacki Weaver and Yvonne Strahovski and an adaptation of beloved children’s book RANDY RILEY’S REALLY BIG HIT in concert with Mike Tollin Productions. Coming up, she will serve as Executive Producer on the upcoming Western DOC HOLLIDAY for Netflix and comedy THE PURG for Fox Entertainment Studios.

She is available for staffing and can’t wait to be back in a room.
