Clay Connections: Samuel Leighton-Dore

Welcome to Clay Connections, our short side series.

Today we chat with the very talented Samuel Leighton-Dore. Sam is a screenwriter, director and interdisciplinary visual artist based on the Gold Coast, Queensland, living and working on the lands of the Kombumerri families from Yugambeh Language Region.
 
Sam's calmness, warm nature and humour shine through while we chat about vulnerability, toxic masculinity, social media and our struggles with boundaries.

Please check out the below links, especially the smile tiles - they really do make you smile.
