About James & Sam

Samantha Hart and James Lipetzky converged on a shared path, each arriving at the same destination through distinct career trajectories. After making waves with his indie film Sweet Dreams Driving School on the festival circuit, James quickly ascended to become one of the most sought-after editors for A-list directors. However, his true calling beckoned him back to the director’s chair, which he answered with his acclaimed feature documentary,  License to Operate. Premiering at SIFF and earning the coveted Best Picture award at the Highland Park Film Festival, James now effortlessly juggles the files of both director and editor.

Sam honed her skills crafting captivating videos and album art for iconic bands and then award-winning marketing campaigns for some of the most beloved indie films of all time. As a writer/producer, Sam’s innate understanding of creative trends envisioned a future where the boundaries between commercials and narrative filmmaking would blur.

With this in mind, the duo created Foundation Content, a production/post-production company employing fifty people across multiple locations with two in-house stages. 

Teaming up as Wild Bill, James, and Sam have created a company that thrives on being nimble and can work anywhere at any time to deliver production and post-production services for their clients.
