Sam Kurd is an English-Palestinian screenwriter and script reader based in Glasgow, Scotland.
He writes short films and features, specialising in science fiction, fantasy and horror with a comedic edge. He has also written non-fiction & film reviews for pop-culture websites, along with the occasional short story. He’s also teaching himself to write comics and audio dramas, because who doesn’t like learning new tricks?
His most recent short films are ‘Eva’, a psychological drama about a grieving girl who may be being haunted by her late mother’s spirit, and ‘Nurse Meow & The Hunt For Sexy Bigfoot’, an Exploitation/Trash comedy about inept hunters who capture an angry catgirl instead of the Sexy Bigfoot they’re after. Two very different places on the genre spectrum!
His comedy-horror feature script ‘Hen Party Massacre’ was optioned and a short version was successfully crowdfunded, but the project fell through so the feature script is looking for a new home. Before this, he was a member of the writers room for ‘Seaview‘, a digital TV series that premiered in 2021 as part of Coventry’s City of Culture celebrations, the first 3 episodes of which can be seen on Amazon Prime.
As well as his own creative work, Sam is an experienced script reader who provides Proofreading & Editing services as well as coverage and writer’s notes.
Sam is also a Senior Programmer for the Beeston Film Festival and was an intern at Shore Scripts.
When he’s not writing, Sam can be found being rubbish at video games, laughing at horror films and eating his body-weight in cheese.
