Over the course of ten years we have partnered with national non-profit, Fair Food Network, to produce numerous awareness campaigns to promote their mission of growing community health and wealth through food. In 2020 we produced three different content campaigns to promote Double Up Food Bucks in Michigan. In 2018 and 2019 we produced a campaign of original content for Fair Food Network and Michigan Good Food Fund highlighting farmers, families and good food entrepreneurs for digital and social media video and fundraising. In 2016, Phase 4 produced the TV and online video campaign for "Double Up Flint" to promote healthy food access in the wake of Flint's water crisis. Our short film highlighting the success of Fair Food Network’s “Double Up Food Bucks” program in Detroit was a winner at the 2011 Michigan Good Food Film Festival. In 2013, Phase 4 partnered with InternewsNEXT to produce a short documentary on the changing landscape of media and technology in the developing world. In 2010, Phase 4 produced and directed the 20-minute documentary “Blessing or Curse: Oil and Uganda’s Future” which was distributed widely in Uganda in order to educate voters and parliament members on oil policy in their country. In 2009, we produced a six-part short documentary series on women’s poverty and philanthropy in association with the Headwaters Group for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Sarah’s 2004 film, Seeds of Hope: Feeding the World One Community at a Time, funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, is currently appearing on Link TV’s Viewchange.org, the social video portal funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The film won the Environment Award at the 2004 Media that Matters film festival, a Telly Award in the social issue category and aired on PBS and internationally.
Sarah grew up in East Lansing, Michigan and is a graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts with a B.F.A. in Film & Television. Sarah is dedicated to creating media that inspires, educates and engages audiences in critical social issues and her life goal is to raise awareness and understanding through film.
