Sam Lipman-Stern is a Jersey-born documentary filmmaker, producer actor and cinematographer.

His current project is Telemarketers debuting this Summer on HBO Docs. A hilarious, irreverent look at the Telemarketing Industry, Sam is the ideal creator and star of the series because he actually was a Telemarketer and the show exposes the behind the scenes madness of his real life experience.
