Samuel Marcus

I’m an actor, writer, and singer.

After spending my teen years and early adulthood in Hollywood pursuing a traditional acting career, I couldn’t quite fit in — often the outsider quietly yearning to make films à la Agnès Varda, Chantal Akerman, and Robert Bresson & music à la  MIKA, MARINA, and Mylène Farmer.

I now split my time between Los Angeles and Paris, independently working on films & musical projects while seeking collaboration with other artists who share a similar spirit.

I’m inspired to make stories and soundscapes that reflect on love, resilience, rejection, loneliness, courage, and hope, while navigating the digital age.

This path hasn’t always been easy, but it’s mine — and I’m committed to making work that feels honest, vulnerable, and free. Films and music where sensitivity is honored as strength, where transpersonal healing can unfold, and where birds always fly at the perfect time.
