Sammi Cannold: Impact & Essence in Storytelling

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!


Sammi Cannold is a theater, film, and television director who is
one of Forbes Magazine's 30 Under 30 in Hollywood &
Entertainment, class of 2019, and will make her Broadway debut
this fall as director of How to Dance in Ohio at the Belasco
Theater.

Our conversation with Sammi takes us on a journey through her
approach to directing and the importance she places on historical
accuracy. We uncover the influence of a pivotal interaction with
Ava's nurse, Maria Alvarez, which has deeply impacted Sammi's
understanding and portrayal of her story. We delve into her
creative process, discussing the significance of decisions made
during that process and the necessity of staying true to the
essence of a story - something Sammi excels at.

We also tackle the more serious topics of age, privilege, and
access in the industry, discussing the perception of age and how
Sammi's approach has evolved with time. She reveals her ambition
to direct bigger ceremonies, and the importance of work and play
in her life. As we wrap up the conversation, she shares her joy
at getting married next summer and leaves us contemplating the
idea of making an impact each and every day.
