Sammy Paul
I’m a 17-year-old high school senior and entrepreneur with a passion for the film and business industries. Growing up with parents who are producers, I spent my childhood on film sets and started modeling at just two years old, which eventually led to an acting career.
​
As I got older, my interests shifted. I developed a love for working behind the scenes in film, paired with a curiosity for business and finance. My uncle, who works at Merrill Lynch, has been instrumental in expanding my knowledge of the financial world, teaching me about stocks, cryptocurrency, and market trends through our weekly meetings. This journey has fueled my entrepreneurial spirit and continues to inspire me to combine creativity and business in innovative ways.​
Exploring Business and Leadership
I’m an active member of DECA, my school’s business and entrepreneurship club, where I’m sharpening my skills and learning how to make an impact. I’m also a part of YPO NextGen, a community that connects young people with mentors and resources to help us grow into future leaders.
Getting Real-World Experience in film
Right now, I’m interning at Crystal Sky Pictures and Atlas Comics on the Paramount Pictures lot. These opportunities offer me hands-on exposure to all aspects of the film industry, from financing and budgeting to creative production and distribution.
I also work with Blueyed Pictures on commercials and live events, where I help develop marketing strategies, write business proposals, and contribute to brand development.
Productions
Some films I’ve helped produce have been featured on Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+, and the Hallmark Channel. They include:

​Additionally, I’ve had a successful modeling career, working with brands like Guess, Target, Janie & Jack, and the Disney Store.
A Global Perspective
Inspired by my travels around the world, I worked with my mom to launch WorldRideAdvantures.com a brand that released it's first book in a series that intoduces children to different cultures and countries through the adventures of its main character. The books highlight the importance of diversity, inclusion, and acceptance. I chair the Youth Consumer Board of Worldride Adventures, providing insights on pop culture trends to keep the brand relevant and aligned with what today’s kids, like me, find engaging.
Looking ahead with everything I’ve learned in the entertainment industry and my passion for tech, finance, and business, I’m excited to take on new projects and eventually attend university to continue expanding my knowledge. ​
How I Spend My Free Time
When I’m not studying or working, I enjoy spending time with friends, Muay Thai, keeping up with the latest tech trends, investing in stocks and cryptocurrency, and traveling with my parents to experience new cultures.
My journey’s just beginning, and I’m thrilled for what’s next!
