Samuel T Weston

Samuel T Weston is an autistic fantasy-writer-turned-filmmaker. Raised in the woods and prairies of rural Minnesota and weaned on stories like "The Lord of the Rings," "Avatar: The Last Airbender," "Fullmetal Alchemist," and "Eragon," Sam gained a unique perspective of what goes into making a fantasy story. Sam got his start writing fantasy novels until he realized his writing style called for more than mere literature could do. So he set off to make fantasy movies instead. In mid-2017, he set to work on his first feature film. It would be too expensive to craft a real fantasy world, so instead he took all the tropes you would find in a Heroic Fantasy novel and square-pegged them into the world around him: Duluth. This would become "Gleahan and the Knaves of Industry."
