Hi friends! This is "Sam" a.k.a. Ben Hollis. Thanks to Davey at Found and Nick and Joe at Found Footage Festival for bringing new life to Rent-A-Friend -- thirty years after I created it. Amazing. Whether you find "Sam" funny or creepy, insightful or ridiculous, thank you for dropping by. You give me a kick, let me tell you!
