Additionally, she has produced an animatic trailer and a short film, "Black Out", for which she served as both writer and director.
Currently, Sarah is immersed in post-production for a short-form fantasy web series, "Queendom Come", a cross-world/epic fantasy series that follows Sariya, a young black woman, as she navigates the challenges of building the typical American dream life, only to discover that she is far from ordinary.
