OH, HELLO THERE.
Sarah Hickey is a Melbourne-based multi-disciplinary filmmaker (and voiceover artist) across commercial and narrative works, with strong ambitions to ultimately end up in the series direction space.
Based out of Melbourne and Brisbane, Sarah is one of three founders of Melbourne-based production company Monster & Bear, where she is currently working hard to build her “film family”, support other directors on the company’s roster, and develop narrative series concepts.
A wearer of many hats, Sarah’s skillset extends across Creative Direction, Film Direction, Script Writing, Voiceover Work, and sometimes musician. The global pandemic has taught her a lot about the importance of remaining open-minded and nimble when it comes to whatever future opportunities may come her way.
FILMMAKING PHILOSOPHY
“I have an immense respect for good talent, and a hunger to meet and collaborate with as many amazing creatives as possible. That’s what I love about film in particular; it’s all about nurturing a collaborative spirit. And when you open yourself up to the fact that being director is still such a small cog in a bigger machine that needs to work as a whole... beautiful things happen.”
