Marc Samson - Concept Artist and Filmmaker
Marc Samson — Artist

Marc Samson started working in the movie industry in 1996 in Montreal, Canada. He later moved to Los Angeles and worked as a technical director at Rhythm and Hues Studios, before becoming a digital artist at RIOT Santa Monica (now Method) where he supervised the creation of many commercials and worked on productions such as Mystery Men, HBO's Angels in America and The Scorpion King.

Marc also worked for Fuse FX, MPC, Method, Rodeo FX and Sony Imageworks as a lead matte painter and concept artist on projects including Agents of Shield, San Andreas, Independence Day 2, Black Sails and Game of Thrones. He was fortunate to have worked on three award-winning films as an illustrator and matte artist: Hugo, Life of Pi and Argo.

He founded Samson Films in 2008 and now works as a concept artist for visual development in video games, movies and commercials. Recent work includes Amazon's New World, Maleficent 2, and The Orville. He also wrote and directed the films Interstate and Where the Devil Dwells, and has three VR experiences distributed by Meta/Oculus.
