Sam Witherow, based in Massachusetts, works primarily in film, photography, installation, and performance. Her work searches for a balance between the importance of storytelling in healing from traumatic events and the push towards exploitation in a world where painful stories too often become vehicles of entertainment. From deeply personal explorations of trauma to homelessness, her work focuses on giving voice to and dissecting narratives of grief, anger, and healing. She received her BS from Fitchburg State University in Communications Media, Film and Video (2017, MA) and her MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design (2022, MA).

Sam co-owns Skeleton Crew Audiovisual Rentals with her partner, James Goyette.
