Sam Tan Documentary
Producer | Director | Editor
Born and raised in Malaysia, Samantha Tan (no relation) is the first Malaysian ever to become a Lifetime Member of The Actors Studio and the first Malaysian in history to be accepted into the Actors Studio Drama School program in NYC where she trained for 3 years.
After graduating from The Actors Studio, Sam moved to Los Angeles for better acting opportunities but after so many years abroad, she has self-taught and mastered Malaysian cooking. She finds herself in two worlds; acting, going to auditions or hand modeling by day to cooking up a storm as a home chef-entrepreneur by night. Perfectly sure that she has a winning sambal recipe, Sam is now on a quest to put it in jars and on the shelves of grocery stores all over the United States, bringing the Malaysian palette a little closer to American tastebuds one jar at a time.
