DIRECTOR - FILM + TV + ADVERTISING
Watch Sarah Hatherley's Director's showreel.
Sarah enjoyed a stellar advertising career where her passion for directing was born. Working on 100+ TVC shoots for national and international brands as a creative director at Clemenger BBDO Melbourne, before starting to direct commercials herself.
Her first award winning short film, Just Do It, was the catalyst to leaving the industry and setting up La Vérité Films.
Since then she has developed a slate of film and TV projects. Written & directed more internationally recognised short films Lost Soul and The Birth.
Her first love is crafting exquisite films - any length, from 30 seconds to features to series TV. As a director she brings humour and emotional truth to all her work.
And as a woman, she brings a passion to reframe the perspective of our screen stories.
