In this first installment of our multi-part series, we’re back in the studio discussing our upcoming trip to the American Film Market (AFM) where we’ll be representing five original Intellectual Properties under LCP Studios. We break down what AFM actually is, why it matters for independent creators, and how we’re approaching the market strategically as we build, pitch, and distribute our IP's.

In Part 1, we take a deep dive into Missy’s Voice a powerful anti-bullying drama that has just wrapped production. Written by Karen Goeller, the film stars Bruna Novais, Braxton Paul, Eva Jette, Alexis V. Martinez, and Margot Bersh, alongside industry veterans John Bianco, Michele Frantzeskos, Chris Victor, and Francesca Ruscio. Missy’s Voice was filmed at Mt. Olive High School in Flanders NJ, we discuss how it was working with the Mt. Olive School District and the New Jersey Film Commission. 

In this episode, we share the creative process, the emotional heart of the story, and what it means to bring a message-driven film to life with students, educators, and rising talent. This episode sets the stage for AFM and the projects we’ll be championing there.

Today on Live Your Dreams, we’re diving into the mind of an artist who refuses to see the world as it is—and instead, shows us how it could be.

A true creative provocateur, Saam has built a remarkable career creating visual stories and soundscapes for global brands like BMW, LEGO, Merck, Autodesk, and ViiV Healthcare all while keeping his art deeply human and alive. Known as “the best over-the-shoulder photographer in the business,” he captures breathtaking images with what his clients call a ninja-like presencefast, ego-free, and laser-focused on making the work shine. Beyond the lens, Saam’s curiosity has taken him everywhere from hosting R37, an immersive musical gathering inside a Los Angeles cathedral, to swimming with polar bears in the Arctic Circle. He’s also a sought-after mentor and speaker, guiding others through his Superpowers Workshops and keynote talks at the OFFF Festival and UCSB’s Art Studio Commencement.
