Caviar welcomes Sami Kriegstein to the team as Executive Producer of Music Videos and Branded Content.
An east-coast transplant, Sami has spent the last ten years pursuing a wide variety of projects in the LA area, including producing a feature-length documentary and managing the number one YouTuber in the world. As a comedy producer for Maker Studios, Sami’s YouTube videos have garnered over 80,000,000 views to date. Most recently, Sami served as the Vice President of Talent and Brand Integrations at Fullscreen, Inc., the fastest growing YouTube network, where she oversaw top-tier talent management, development and brand integrations across a roster of 6,000+ channels, including Google-funded partners and blue-chip clients like NBC, Lexus and Martha Stewart Omnimedia.
In 2010, inspired by the burgeoning DIY music video movement, Sami launched the Los Angeles Music Video Festival with the goal of providing emerging directors and bands an effective venue to showcase their work. Now in its 4th year, the LAMVF has awarded thousands of dollars in prizes, hosted groundbreaking workshops and performances and proudly boasts a submission pool spanning 33 countries.
Sami graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Southern California with a BA in Communication and a Masters of Communication Management, focusing on multimedia literacy and the international entertainment marketplace.
Caviar is excited to have Sami on board to spearhead music videos and help our roster of talent expand into the branded new media space.
