Sarah has over 30 years’ experience in film and television production.
She has delivered content to commercial clients, broadcasters and for feature release as a production manager and producer across a number of disciplines including; documentary, visual effects, feature films, television commercials and long-form children’s cartoon series. This has given her an extensive understanding of the broader industry.
Her passion is making content that both celebrates our natural world but also raises awareness around its decline. Sarah co-produced and was also the impact producer for the award winning feature ocean conservation film, BLUE, that continues to screen around the world inspiring audiences to take action to protect our oceans. Her most recent feature documentary is Sea Lions - Life By A Whisker, for Imax, that chronicles the critical status of the little known Australian Sea Lion.
In 2020 Sarah accepted the role as CEO of Take 3 for the Sea. Sarah's journey with Take 3 started in 2013 when she became increasingly aware of the insidious plastic problem in our oceans and its impacts on marine wildlife. Initially joining Take 3 as a volunteer, Sarah developed and launched the Take 3 Surf Life Saving Clubs Project and served on the organisation's Board of Directors while continuing her film and television career. Sarah’s connection with Take 3 continued, with co-founder Tim Silverwood featuring in her award-winning ocean conservation film, BLUE in 2017.
Aligning with BLUE’s theatrical release in October 2017, Sarah and the BLUE team developed and implemented a 3-year multi-faceted impact campaign, which included over 65 partners from the not-for-profit, education, government, philanthropic and private sectors in Australia, the Pacific Region, Europe and North America. The BLUE education curricula has been used by over half a million Australian school kids, and the film and its outreach won the Banksia Foundation Sustainability Media Award for its contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Since this recording Sarah has resigned as CEO for Take 3 for the Sea to pursue further her passion and committment to the conservations of our oceans through film and other projects.
