Samantha Sewell
Originally from New York City (currently based in LA), Samantha received her B.A. in Psychology at UCLA in 2019, before returning to UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television (MFA ’22). Her motivation to write is rooted in two fascinations: the observation of people and how they relate, and the oddities and absurdities inherent to systems of order and interaction. Her work dances across various genres, formats, tones, and themes—mental/physical health, family, friendship, love, co-dependence—but tends to evoke themes pertaining to social or political commentary and/or exploration.
