Directing
Samantha Stark is a Director/Producer on "The New York Times Presents” on FX and Hulu. She previously worked in the same capacity on "The Weekly," the first iteration of the series. Before that she was a staff video journalist at the NYT, where she shot and edited short documentaries and video series.
She loves stories that celebrate life and has been lucky enough to film with thrilling people. Some of her favorites include: a teenager who let scientists rewrite her DNA, a clothes dyer who forged passports so children could escape persecution, a 92-year-old entering a beauty pageant for the first time... and, of course, Britney Spears.
