Sam Reichman, Executive Creative Director
š Thoughts on the best kind of toner mist, Thresholds the podcast, and the importance of collaboration in your work.
Sam Reichman is a partner and Executive Creative Director at None Other, a women-owned and -led production company based in Brooklyn. She worked in journalism at a number of media organizations before transitioning into creative agency roles, and has taught workshops for SVAās Masterās in Branding program. She also fancies herself an amateur genealogist after a pandemicās worth of diving down ancestral rabbit holes.
šÆ Current focus
My partners and I just officially re-launched our production company as None Other after taking over the reins last year. So, thatās a huge update! We know production to be equal parts creation and curation. And we love that we get to be the ones to put the right people in the room together and set them up to succeed. In developing our new identity, we made sure to define that value for our partners and embody it in our name. Ideas are important, but relationships are precious.
šļø Thresholds the podcast
Iāve been listening to a fantastic podcast called Thresholdsāinterviews with writers and artists about the moments that have shaped them. Jordan Kisner is one of the most talented interviewers Iāve encountered, and I think sheās just the coolest person.Ā
šŗ Scavengers Reign
I just finished watching Scavengers Reign, a true masterclass in worldbuilding. Itās inventive and beautiful and reminded me of some of the themes in Semiosis by Sue Burkeāan iconic sci-fi novel. If you like suspense and second-guessing yourself, I canāt recommend it enough.
š¶ The importance of collaboration in your work
Iāve recently realized how important it is to share works in progress with friends. It hadnāt occurred to me that by doing so, it would naturally open the door for collaboration with the people I already trusted the most.
And in the spirit of sharing unfinished projects, I am hoping to self-release our bandās first single under the name MAN LEE later this spring. Weāve been working on our debut LP for a long while now (give or take five years), but it wasnāt until we started sharing that music with friends and collaborators that it really took shape and took hold of my heart.
š¤³ Most beloved niche meme account
I love engaging with content that I donāt yet understand. Every little open question is a tasty snack that feeds my research brain. Enter my most beloved niche meme account: 24 Memes Per Second. I watched every film mentioned in the curatorsā comments until I bought a peg bar myself. Itās over for me.
š The best kind of toner mist
I canāt live without my Tower 28 SOS Rescue Spray, or any kind of toner mist in a little bottle. I bring it to set, pass it around at shows, spritz friends and family at weddingsāalways with permissionāand throw it in my carry-on for my travels.
