Saman is a filmmaker who would “rather play games and drink caffeine” as he once said. Hence, he consistently brings his ADD adrenaline to everything he shoots. Saman’s fast-cut, edgy, and provocative style of works got him under the spotlight when his music video for Cinnamon Chasers’ “Luv Deluxe” won Best Music Video at the SXSW in 2010.Since then, he has directed many more commercials, short films, music videos – all which took home several prestigious prizes. Saman is based in Los Angeles, and is represented in London, Paris, LA, and Taipei.

薩曼‧ 凱許的作品風格搶眼，他擅長運用俐落的剪輯和具衝擊性的事物來敘說故事。這樣的快節奏搭配飽和的色彩總是能有效地吸引觀眾的目光，帶他們進入一個充滿感官刺激的空間。他銳利、快速，並帶有刺激性的視覺表達，讓他在2010年以Cinnamon Chasers的”Luv Deluxe”在SXSW獲得了最佳影片。自此，薩曼導了多部廣告，短片及MV，抱走了多座大大小小的獎項，包括了Emmy、 Clio、Addy、Young Director’s Award in Cannes以及許多在英國的ＭＶ提名。
