Samuel Teyssier

I am skilled in using Twine, FadeIn, the entire Adobe Creative Cloud Suite, AVID, Microsoft Word, Excel, Trello, Unreal 4, and learning Unreal 5. Additionally, I have experience with Unity from creating interactive projects with the software throughout college. I continue to use Unity to create stories as it allows me to develop a deeper understanding of the game-making process. I excel in collaborative situations, thanks to my experiences in the Boy Scouts of America and on professional film productions such as Amazon Prime's A League of Their Own, Sprung, and Showtime's American Rust as both a Grip and Production Assistant. I love learning.
