Sabrina has been exercising her creative vision and passion for story-telling for more than a decade. Previously a professional modern dancer and choreographer, in 2005 she turned her artistic eye toward documentary filmmaking after spotting a hand-painted sign in a cow pasture reading “Hip-Hop Show Tonight.” She was then inspired to make WHERE YOU FROM, the award-winning feature-length documentary about rural rap, which had a successful festival run and was acquired by IndiePix films in 2009. NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT, a provocative documentary about wounded warriors, was also produced and co-directed by Sabrina and will be released in the Spring of 2012. She completed her BA at Duke University, where she studied film (without her father’s consent) and graduated Phi Beta Kappa. She lives in Montana with her husband and two children, breathing plenty of fresh air and encountering the occasional wild animal.

Shasta only discovered the proverbial worth of the picture after a long history with words. But she always draws from her roots in bread and butter narrative (MA English, University of British Columbia). With a knack for finding stories in mounds of footage, Shasta is mesmerized by the siren call of the unexpected and the overlooked. Those sirens have been variously incarnated as small town basketball players (CLASS C: THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN), forgotten musical pioneers (NEVER LONG GONE), and orphaned owlets (EXPEDITION WILD, NatGeoWild). By gratefully and respectfully appropriating stories and regularly losing sleep, Shasta has earned numerous Regional Emmy, CINE Golden Eagle, Telly, and film festival awards.
