Sam Rowland

Sam Rowland was the chief editor for the webseries KateModern. He grew up in Newcastle and studied Multimedia Design at Northumbria University, where he mastered After effects, Final Cut, Arkaos, and DVD Studio Pro. While still in school, he worked as a runner and a production assistant for "Kid Symphony" with Partizan, "Undercut" with Chrome Productions, and "Fortune Drive" with Big Balls Films.

After graduating in summer 2006, Sam spent six months traveling through Hong Kong, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. He then came home and made the move from Newcastle to London and got involved with KateModern.

A typical day for Sam while working on the show involved "digitizing the flow of tapes that [came] from the director and shoot team, structuring the edit from the script, sending low resolution versions to the writers for approval, making the changes the writers list[ed], and finally exporting the videos to a format suitable [for upload] onto the internet." He then would pass the files onto the interactive team for them to post.
