About Sarah

Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin to British parents, multi award winning actor, writer, director Sarah Deakins spent the first year of her life in Chicago, until her parents decided to move to Canada. She was heavily inspired by her artist stepmother, deeply effected by her descent into Schizophreni, and having lost this childhood idol to the streets, her work often illustrates the fragility and unexpected integrity of the disenfranchised and the downtrodden. A graduate of the University of Victoria theatre program, Ms. Deakins has extensive stage and screen credits. The first short film she penned and starred in, "Late", went to Cannes as part of Telefilm Canada's "Not Short On Talent" Program, and more recently Deakins has collected over 25 awards on the festival circuit as the writer and director of "Greece", produced by Brightlight Pictures. She is the creator, writer, director of an award winning 1/2 hour pilot, "Yellow", again with Brightlight Pictures, and her feature film script VIOLET recently won the top prize in the 2021 Golden Script Competition, placed in the top 40 of the Academy Nicholl Fellowship competition, and was an honorable mention in the 2021 Screencraft Feature Screenplay competition. Ms Deakins makes her home in three main cities, splitting the year between LA, Toronto, and Vancouver.
