Collodion
Through the lens of photographer and physician Eric Overton, Collodion: The Process of Preservation captures a fearless, and uncommonly vulnerable self-portrait of American wilderness, our relationship to each other, and the possibility that nature itself may be all we need to find common ground.
Merry Thieves is proud to have provided cinematography and production for this film.

Promoting the arts and creative work
“There are so many good things to say about Sam and his work.
We hired him for a large event up at Snowbird, Utah and he was ready to work and very well prepared. Sam was on-time for each session of the event that needed specific video shots, on the spot interviews, and any other silly requests we asked of him. Not only that but he shot BEAUTIFUL b-roll in whatever spare time he had. After the event, Sam was quick with edits and openly took feedback while also providing his own. Sam is a joy to work with, creates and produces great work, and I look forward to working with him more!”
-Ana B., O.C. Tanner
“Sam is creative, talented and can get the job done!”
"I've had the pleasure of working with Sam (Merry Thieves) now on 2 very different projects. Neither of which had much in common which showed to me Sam's prowess for his craft. He brings incredible technical expertise to the table while also presenting creative options when requested. The first project called for a host of various locations and involved a lot of motion, some macro shots and he blew it out of the park. our expectations were exceeded.
Specifically related to the other project (production process video for corporate customer Rock West Composites) Sam was personable and worked well with our manufacturing technicians in order to get the shots. In a facility where lighting was tricky (dismal at best) Sam was able to produce the necessary equipment to provide a professional and great short film to highlight one of our mfr. processes.
For sure will be working with Sam again on our next project!"
-Rylan H., Rock West Composites
