DIRECTORS

Sarah Carter is a writer, director, actor, filmmaker, and CEO of Cheshire Moon Productions. Her success as an actor inspired a quiet pursuit of the director's chair beginning with Judd Apatow and Seth Rogan inviting her into the writer’s room to develop her character on their comedy series 'Undeclared'. Since then, she has shadowed and worked with several top directors, including Spike Lee, Martin Donovan, and Miguel Sapochnik most notably over the course of her 5 year run on Steven Spielberg's "Falling Skies". Her debut feature, “In Her Name”, premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in June 2022, winning an Audience Award. Along with “A Pity”, a film she starred in and produced with her husband, writer/director/editor Kevin Barth, “In Her Name” continues to collect accolades and recognition from international audiences. Her mission is to exemplify the simple truths that offer hope and freedom amidst the insanity that is our human condition. A piece of art is like a child and requires monumental commitment from the point of conception until it has reached its full potential to live a life of its own. Movies, in particular, are miracles, which can only happen when we commit, surrender to the circumstances, take action, and believe. With equal reverence for innocence and shadow, her work is infused with compassion, forgiveness, and wisdom and is an example of what can come through within the madness of life when the feminine is empowered to lead.
