Comedic stories written by Sam with fellow queer artist Cameron Cash. It started as a feature length family comedy, but they loved the characters so much they flashed back for a prequel web series AND continued their stories as half-hour TV Series.
Prequel Web Series: Bizarro Gays
Before they identified as “bizarro gays”, they were just lonely weirdos trying to navigate life in Los Angeles.
In a city full of magic spells, doppelgängers, and gladiator drag queens, five queer people trapped in a cycle of loneliness find one another. Only if they can combat their insecurities, dispel the energy vampires from their lives, and put their trust in someplace new will these new friends break the cycle and form a tribe.

A conservative All-American family on vacation endures a 4th of July weekend in a California beach town overrun with gay men, but after an altercation, one group of “bizarro gays” won’t let their narrow-mindedness slide by.
During his family’s first day on the beach, Gary Holiday offends a group of queer friends who turn out to be staying in the vacation bungalows surrounding his own. To complicate the matter, Gary’s wife, daughter, and closeted son befriend their new neighbors igniting a hilarious chain of events that will forever change the lives of the Holidays and the queer people next door.
