Hugh Jackman and Margot Robbie Casting Director Sam Hammington is making a movie?(Sam Pictures)



Sam Hammington starts YouTube content 'Sam Pictures'

"Sam Pictures", which will be first released on Channel Rolling Thunder at 6 p.m. on the 22nd, is a sketch comedy with a new concept, in which Sam Hammington auditions for actors in his works. Auditions are held every time with the plan of finding a new face and developing a scenario suitable for the actor, not a well-known actor.

Actor Lee Joo-hyung participated as the first audition participant. Lee Ju-hyung is an actor who has played an intensely impressionable villain in the Netflix series 'Plazas' films 'Black Sisters'She Who Differs From Day To Night'. Lee Joo-hyung seriously digests a character that is completely different from what he has shown in previous works and gives a smile.




'Sam Pictures' is a sketch comedy in the form of a fake documentary, but it will provide a different kind of fun with acting that can maximize the individuality of the actors participating in the audition and Sam Hammington's ad-lib.

"It will be a stage where we can rediscover the acting skills of actors participating in the audition and it will be a content that has evolved the format of sketch comedy to the next level. Please look forward to Sam Hammington and the crew's cami," the producer said.

The story of Sam Hammington setting up a production company and casting actors is not unfamiliar to Sam Hammington. His mother Jan Russ actually runs a production company in Australia. Sam Hammington's mother is a famous producer who started out as an actor, worked as a casting director, and is now called a big hand in Australian broadcasting. Australian Hollywood actors such as Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Hugh Jackman, Chris Hemsworth and Margot Robbie are known to have been discovered by Sam Hammington's mother, Jan Russ, when she was the casting director.
