DIRECTOR / PRODUCER / WRITER

Currently filming feature documentary, Shark Bait.

Following a stellar international advertising career, Sarah Hatherley established production company La Vérité Films. Producing a series of short films, from Tropfest comedy The Birth to Sitges premiering Lost Soul and IF award winning first film Just Do It, all written and directed by Sarah.

A hit podcast followed. Based on 100+ hours of gut wrenching phone conversations with a whistleblowing female ex-cop who was nearly destroyed by a corrupt police brotherhood, Use Of Force garnered Hatherley a Spotify Rising Star nomination at the 2021 Australian Podcast Awards.

The pilot of a premium scripted TV series written by Sarah attracted the interest of Australian television industry heavyweight, Mark Fennessy at Helium Pictures, with a co-production agreement in place.

An adventure challenge series rounds out the La Vérité Films development slate.

In between films, she has written and illustrated four children’s storybooks, and created Funny Feelings® emotional literacy resources. La Verite Publishing released apps, posters, cards, games and more. Her apps have had over 100,000 downloads.

Creator of Boobytrap® underwear brand, Sarah manufactured a range of fun, photographic print bras, briefs and more. The colourful condom bra was an instant hit.
