Sarah Koteles is a filmmaker who brings stories to life through thoughtful creative development and hands-on production. With experience guiding projects from initial concept through final delivery, she creates compelling work across narrative, documentary, short-form, long-form, and social formats.

Her love of visual storytelling started early, fueled by an obsession with music videos and the wonderfully offbeat worlds of Tim Burton. She began her career as a motion designer, developing a strong foundation in visual language, animation, and storytelling before expanding into directing and producing. Today, she brings a multidisciplinary approach to every project, seamlessly moving between creative development, writing, directing, producing, and editing.
