Sam Ho (he/they) is a Chinese-American filmmaker from Massachusetts whose work explores an eclectic array of subjects, from a funeral service held by British clowns to the generational legacy of the Cultural Revolution. What unites his seemingly disparate works is a focus on intimate stories and an empathetic, humanist sensibility. His feature-length documentary debut, Hero Camp!, which follows three introspective queer teens at a fantasy LARP camp, recently premiered at the Seattle Queer Film Festival and is currently screening across the United States. He has worked for NFL Films, Johnson & Wales University, and the Green River Music Festival. When he’s not working, you can find him playing the kazoo and guitar simultaneously, developing clown shows, and traveling the world with a backpack and camcorder.
