About Sarah

Website: https://sarahsimmons236.wixsite.com/website Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gumption_productions/# I have been a student filmmaker since 2018 when I started studying at Curtin University (In Perth Australia). I delve into a world that had always interested me, learning about film, writing and tapping into creativity. ​ I started off exploring my options, bouncing between roles that spanned from pre-production, through production and into post-production and I've ultimately found my passion in directing. ​ After two years at Curtin, I made the decision to get out in the world and gain some experience in the Industry. I took a gap year (and a half) and flew to England where I got to be a part of two film projects and a TV Show. Since returning to Australia to finish my degree I have continued to gain experience in and outside of my course. I have also partnered with my sister to launch a production company of our own, Gumption Productions. I have now also graduated from my degree. In addition to this I am a passionate writer. I have completed a novel (unpublished) and am currently working on the sequel as well as an entirely new novel. I have also written a few short film scripts (one of which was developed into a film that is now in post production).
