About Sara

After studying acting and settling in London, I got ia job in telly as a VT technician. My personality shone through and I was soon told I should be 'in front of the camera'. I decided to make my way in presenting, watched and talked to those working as presenters in the TV Station and clinched my first job within the month; a short film about Ducati motorbikes.

I studied film at college too and I became a host of Laurel and Hardy live shows. Thanks to a chance meeting with radio producer Barry Littlechild at a film memorabilia event I became a reporter for his 'Cinema 2' programme on BBC Radio2.
Eventually I hosted my own 'Armchair Travel Show' programme on a local independent station Thames FM ' and was also dubbed 'The best Personality Led Reporter' for the Central Office Of Information Radio show OKUK.

Recording a report for 'Cinema 2' , about foreign students learning film in the UK, I was asked if I could act, check, use my motorcycle skills, check, and be in a graduates short film, check. On the back of that short I was cast in my first feature, 'Chasing Dreams' honoured with a front credit and it premiered at The London Film Festival.

By this time I had also established myself in Voice Overs for Eurosport and was also narrating programmes for The Travel Channel too. A producer then offered me a chance to play a presenter in the feature film. 'Jim's Gift' directed by Bob Keen who was also responsible for modelling the animals in Dog Soldiers and the pinhead makeup for Hell Raiser.. This became my TV acting debut and has since become the most expensive DVD I've found on Amazon £84 !

Thanks to my radio reporting I gained access to Pinewood Studios and made friends there that encouraged me to make a film. It should have been my first acting showreel but ended up being a 15 minute short film shot on 35mm called Cafe D' Paris. It took me to my first Cannes Film Festival on a private jet where I attend the daily screenings at The British Pavilion. It was my batism-of-fire for 35mm film producing. I won out being a welcome guest on the Fuji Film, Lee Lighting, Panavision yacht. That first Cannes experience has never been beaten.

Luckily, freelance TV technical work helped me pay off my film making debts and my performance in Cafe D' Paris helped get me cast in a BBC film 'Riot At The Rite' and an ITV Lynda La Plante drama 'The Commander'.

I continued to go for film acting work, VO work and presenting opportunities, sometimes mixing the disciplines . I've also clocked up producing five short films that have all visited international festivals, including two award winners. '15' and 'Gent and Gypsy'.

The TV highlight of my presenting career was spending two years on the Granada show 'Men and Motors' as the Biker Meets, vox pop presenter and I worked for many years voicing programmes for The Open University course material and award winning documentaries too.

My feature film in vision credits include In Fabric - Peter Strickland, Borley Rectory - Ashley Thorpe, The Haunting Of Margam Castle - Andrew Jones, Dawning Of The Dead and Cute Little Buggers - Tony Jopia.

You'll also hear two songs I was commissioned to write and sing top and tailing Cute Little Buggers.

Voice wise I became known as 'The Voice Of Ben Wheatley's World' giving character voices on his first six films, most notably 3 voices on 'Sightseers' and 4 voices on 'High-Rise'. 'Recent film voice credits additions include -Delia Derbyshire - The Myth's and Legendary Tapes - Caroline Catz and Paul Dood's Legendary Lunch Break - Nick Guillespie,

Actress, Presenter, Voice Actor and Voice Artist. I have established work in these disciplines produced award winning shorts and am now directing a series of genre iconic little scenes and composing songs to sing too so, I'll see how that goes next.

I just love this industry and when I'm not on set acting or voicing in a studio, I'm supporting anyone I meet in the industry to inspire them to reach their next goal. Anything to keep the film biz wheels turning and keep sundials of talent out of the shade and basking in the sun.
