Sam Probst, a visionary filmmaker with a multifaceted identity, hailing from a rich cultural heritage that blends Mexican-American roots with a queer perspective.
As a youth, Sam's creative inclinations were nurtured in the heartland of America, the South Bend region of Indiana, where he would often collaborate with his neighborhood friends to produce homemade movies that showcased their collective imagination.
Upon completing his high school education, Sam made the bold decision to relocate to the bustling metropolis of Chicago, where he enrolled in The Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago to hone his skills in film and video production.
Throughout his early twenties, Sam immersed himself in the vibrant LGBTQIA+ community of Boystown Chicago, where he forged a lifelong bond with his partner, Colby, a union that would prove to be a source of inspiration and creative synergy in his professional journey.
