Two years on from his award-winning breakthrough, Sam Barlow is back with two provocative new projects
Five minutes into our conversation with Sam Barlow, the line goes dead. He calls back and apologises – his phone was so hot, he explains, it had switched itself off. That says something for how in-demand the creator of Her Story is these days. He’s currently shooting an interactive film, a contemporary riff on ’80s Cold War sci-fi WarGames. Also in the pipeline is a new game, Telling Lies, for which he’s partnered with Annapurna Interactive. Here, he discusses life since his self-developed indie hit brought him to Hollywood’s attention.
