Sarah Mueller
Sarah Mueller is a cinephile, a life-long learner and (very proud) 23 year community-rooted resident of Philadelphia. Since achieving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production from the University of the Arts in 2006, she has been deeply immersed in her art and social change practice of raising up the next generation of producing People-centered cinema. Sarah has had the great honor of working for and serving alongside some of Philadelphia’s most esteemed independent media institutions including (but not limited to)—Scribe Video Center, BlackStar Film Festival (for 6 years), Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival and PhillyCAM. Intrinsic to her life-long work is the notion that having the ability and access to create and experience deep and diverse depictions of one’s various identities on-screen is a basic human right. She believes that film is an effective instrument for the dismantling of white supremacy and abolition of all carceral systems— creating a more peaceful, wholly-equitable society, where empathy and tolerance flourish. She proudly calls West Philly home.
