PROFESSIONAL REFERENCES


”I have worked several times with Sara and if I could do it every time, I would. She is a very dedicated producer and she cares about the project, its outcome and the well-being of the crew. I know for a fact that she’ll work her ass off to get the best results and get the best out of the people involved.”

-Angel Quel / Director / Spain

”I worked with Sara on the production of Guts, which we shot in Iceland. It was a demanding production, took place in the middle of a pandemic, 8 hour drive from the national airport, during the peak of an Icelandic winter. Sara was on top of everything and I could really depend on her throughout the whole production process, all from calmly overcoming all obstacles that we encountered, to transferring crew and equipment between countries. She provided confident decision making, positive attitude, enthusiasm, and respect for everyone involved. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Sara and believe she’ll make valuable contributions to any project she takes part in.

- Álfgerður Malmquist / Director and DOP / Iceland

I have worked on multiple narrative short films with Sara, each one was shot in a different country. This challenge was no problem as all the productions were great to work on, they were all efficient, on time and well organized. She cares highly for the script, story, cast and crew. As a DOP I felt my camera and lighting needs were cared for and thought about. I really look forward to working with Sara again in the future.

- Clint Frift / DOP / England

"...Working with Sara was a pleasure and she appeared reliable and managed a lot of tasks calmly even in times of tension and time pressure. Spreading a positive vibe and treating everyone involved respectfully but decisively contributed to a great work climate on set and on stage...."
