Test Drive

Fighter pilot Tom struggles to raise his precocious daughter in a war-torn world. "Test Drive" is an award winning short sci-fi directed by Sam Tahhan.



Sam is a writer & director who specializes in action comedy and sci-fi. He is repped by Audrey Knox at The Cartel (www.cartelhq.com).

The son of a Middle Eastern father and Midwestern mother, Sam fell in love with movies at an early age, carrying that passion forward into grad school; where he studied under Diana Botsford (the goddaughter of Isaac Asimov) and screenwriting mentor John Rice (WINDTALKERS, BLOWN AWAY).

A Kansas City native, Sam currently splits time between Denver and Los Angeles; where he continues to assemble a team of incredible filmmakers.

When not making movies, Sam loves hanging with his wife & kids, traveling the globe, and drinking as much life juice as possible...usually via rugby or skiing. Sam recently kicked cancer squarely in the ass.
