About Hi there, my name is Sarah and I’ve been working in film in the Pacific Northwest for the past three years. I am currently located in Seattle but able to work in Portland as a local. While I often work as a Production Assistant, my passion for film and production sets lies within the artistic side. I love creating a space by selecting, arranging, and placing objects to create a visually appealing scene. It involves understanding color, texture, and composition to convey a specific mood or message. With my keen eye for detail and aesthetic sense, I can transform any space into a work of art.

I'm the kind of person that will meet strangers on the street and 5 years later call them good friends. I'm a naturally curious person and I am fascinated by people and what makes them tick. When I hunt for stories, I find myself gravitating towards cultural topics and social issues. And my favorite stories are the ones that make connections between the two, like a multimedia piece I did on aging jazz musicians with no social safety nets and an organization that works to provide them with housing and healthcare relief.
