Los Angeles • East Bay Area
Samia Zaidi is an award-winning queer muslim writer/director based in the East Bay Area and Los Angeles. She gravitates towards edgy comedy, documentary, gratuitous art films, and music videos.
After cutting her teeth in filmmaking while finishing her Anthropology degree at UCLA, she started Pitch, Please, a design and consulting firm for directors' treatments, moodboards, and pitch decks for motion content, still photography, and experiential design. Pitch, Please serves an array of indie and celebrity directors and photographers across diverse industries. While the company has hard and fast rules around not disclosing the artists served, here are some brand highlights of clients to whom she’s helped creators pitch to: ACLU, Audi, Budweiser, Disney, Facebook, Ferrari, Google, Gwen Stefani, Harley-Davidson, Jennifer Lopez, Kenzo, Lady Gaga, Louis XIII, Netflix, Porsche.
When she's not designing pitch decks or on set, you can usually find her in a dance class or impulse buying bulk herbs. Feel free to contact her for questionable advice about yoga or motorcycles.
