Sara Crow is a filmmaker from Arizona based in New York. She is especially passionate about telling stories of subcultures, misfits, and those who operate on the fringes of society.

She is a 2024 Sundance Screenwriters Lab and Directors Lab fellow and the recipient of the Sloan Sundance Fellowship with her first narrative feature “Satoshi,” which she is co-writing with David Rafailedes. “Satoshi” received the $100,000 Sloan Feature Film Prize at NYU and is currently in pre-production.

Her debut narrative short film “Bluebird” was awarded the Black Family Film Prize at NYU’s Graduate Film program, where she was awarded the Martin Scorsese Scholarship and a Maurice Kanbar Scholarship. Her thesis film “Why I Am an Anarchist” received NYU’s AnnaRose King Award for Comedic Storytelling.

As a documentarian, Sara has produced and directed award-winning work for many outlets including HBO, Disney+, and Showtime. In 2016, she released the feature documentary, Never Get Tired about beloved cult musician Jeff Rosenstock, which, eight years after its release, continues to screen in independent theaters and music venues around the world.

She is currently producing a feature documentary in partnership with Elara Pictures, Olive Productions, and Part2 Pictures. She is in post-production on a documentary, Youth of the North, which follows a group of indigenous punk musicians and activists in Siberia.

Her background in journalistic documentaries bleeds into her narrative work; Sara loves world-building and diving into secret and little known histories.
