Skylar continued to ride this acclaim with Season 4 before splitting the season into 2 parts; Part 2 received positive reviews for it's more serious tone and focus on story telling, it was however criticized for moving away from the fun homages to B-movies and self-aware nature. Skylar continued the darker tone and focus on story telling with Season 5 and Season 6 both have received massive acclaim for Skylar's acting, cinematography, and great emphasis on story telling, though some fans have voiced their dissatisfaction with the shift from comedy. Skylar's next outing was "A Man Named Franklin" being his first short film. The film was met with mixed responses, many saying that the plot was clear but executed somewhat poorly and the threadbare script didn't help the film as it took itself too seriously, though it was praised for the cinematography and excellent camera angles, as well as the enjoyable action sequences. Shortly afterwards Skylar created a 4 minute short film called "The Final Shootout" the short was met with very positive responses in particular regarding the entertaining and highly energetic cinematography involving the two car chases. with the Skylar's most recent outing came in the form of a horror short drama called "The Crooked Man" serving as Skylar's first live action short film, he plays a down-on-his-luck drunk named David Hoover. The film was met with positive responses, many people praised the film for it's excellent special effects, storytelling and character development, it was criticized however for the uneven awkward pacing, and uneven cinematography, but overall was considered Skylar's best work to date due to the underlying message of the film, the darker more serious tone it took compared to his previous work and the bravery of having a melancholic ending. Skylar worked on the sequel to "A Man Named Franklin" called "A Man Named Franklin 2: The Guilt", the film takes on a much darker more serious tone than the original, upping violence and the profanity, and being feature length making it Skylar's first ever feature length film, he also worked in the original's plot to make it flow more smoothly allowing it to remedy the mistakes made with the first film, including the abrupt ending. Skylar also has begun production on a remake for the first A Man Named Franklin to give the original film a better flow, altered ending, better cinematography. Skylar states that because he's putting the extra time in that it actually will end up taking longer than the original. Sam has announced he will release a short film with a super ultrawide aspect ratio for the first time.
