Sam Jones is the creator of series Off Camera with Sam Jones, and directed the Wilco documentary, I Am Trying To Break Your Heart. He recently directed an episode of Ted Lasso, is in post production on Running With Our Eyes Closed, A Film about Jason Isbell, and is directing a film about motorcycle racer Ricky Carmichael.
Photographer and director Sam Jones sits down with the myriad professionals of television and movies, and other celebrities (great skateboarders, for example), to discuss their development before fame, their passions beyond their careers, and gives them a space to open up about their insight into their business and their own abilities. Filmed in black and white, with a few deep cushion chairs and sparse set, the show relies on Sam's ability to relate to the guests and their will to speak freely with him.
