IN THE WILDERNESS (feature)
During the biblical Hebrews’ forty-year exile through the desert, a young couple questions their faith as they come up against a demonic force of real Jewish folklore.
After graduating from the University of Michigan's Screen Arts and Cultures program with a screenwriting concentration, Sam Barnett grew tired of his home state of Michigan and relocated to the ancient homeland of his parent: New York. In addition to his writing, he has served as a longtime story analyst for Lionsgate, and has worked on feature films and documentaries at production companies such as Big Beach, Ideal Partners and Keshet Studios. His work has been featured on websites such as The A.V. Club.
