A director by trade, a screenwriter in her heart, and even appearing in front of the camera from time to time, Sarah has more than one arrow in her quiver and more than one award on her résumé. She can take us from laughter to tears in an instant. Aside from her gift for writing, she combines touches of humanity and humour when she directs campaigns, such as those for BMO and Loto-Québec, as well as hard-hitting spots. For example, her sure hand and delicate touch superbly guided the YWCA campaign on violence against women, which made a big splash in Quebec and also caught the eye of the advertising world.
Mon Boy, which she wrote and directed, not only was in the official selection at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018 but also won the best director award at Festival SPASM in 2019. Recently, she has been directing more and more fiction, writing and directing web series (Avec moi 1 and 2, Georges est mort, Claire et les vieux). She has also directed a TV movie, Glass Houses, for which she received the award for best direction of a television feature at the Canadian Screen Awards. More recently, she has directed TV series such as L’aire d’aller, which will be broadcast on Télé-Québec in 2023. Over the years, as a filmmaker she has been acknowledged by her peers for her innate talent, her undeniable talent for directing actors, and her emotional intelligence.
