Sam Kadi is the producer of feature animation LAMYA'S POEM, an inspiring and timely tale about a 12-year-old Syrian refugee girl named Lamya. When she flees the violence of her country, she is given a book of poetry of the celebrated 13th-century Poet, Rumi. As the perils of her journey mount, the book becomes a magical gateway where she meets Rumi when he was a boy and also a refugee fleeing the violence of his time. In a shared dreamworld, they battle the monsters that follow them from their real world situations, and Lamya must help young Rumi find his calling and write the poem that 800 years later will save her life. The film is written and directed by Alex Kronemer. Lamya’s Poem had its World Premiere at the prestigious 60th Annecy Film Festival (France) and was short-listed for the 2023 Oscars.

The Filmmaker’s Approach:


I am fascinated by the process that goes on in order for a director to make a film. It’s a long but inspiring creative procedure that takes many motivated artists to come together and see through the same lens that the director sees through. I am a strong believer that every successful film starts with a great story that inspires you to dedicate years of your life to turn it into a motion picture. Therefore, our process at SAM K PRODUCTION, a production company I founded back in 2008, is to always take the time in the writing process and to work with our seasoned writing partners. The goal is to make sure that we have a compelling script that will be utilized as a solid foundation for a successful film. Even when I am hired to direct a film with a script that is already in place, I still have to collaborate with the producers to make sure the script is stronger than ever before. Entertaining your audience is essential, but providing them with a relatable story that has substance is what makes the film an unforgettable one! As a director, I tell my compelling stories with lights and colors, so every frame matters and every talent on the set is a star. Film is a beautiful painting, but with sound and motion.
