About

Sara Crow makes films about misfits, subcultures, and those on the fringes of society. Her narrative feature Satoshi brought her an Academy Nicholl Fellowship, Sundance Screenwriters and Directors Lab Fellowships, and was further recognized with the NYU Sloan Feature Film Prize, SFFilm Sloan Science in Cinema Fellowship, and the WScripted Cannes Screenplay List. She earned her MFA from NYU’s Graduate Film program as a Martin Scorsese Scholar. At NYU, she received the Black Family Film Prize, and the AnnaRose King and Chris Columbus Production Awards.

As a documentarian, Sara has produced and directed award-winning work for many outlets including the New York City Ballet, HBO, Disney+, and Showtime. She produced the feature documentary Public Access, alongside Executive Producers Benny Safdie and Steve Buscemi. Public Access had its World Premiere in the U.S. Documentary Competition in the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.

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