Sarah Gignac has made 5 short films: two live action (Curtains, Sleeping Beauty) and three animated (Borscht & Fresh Bread, Deep Blue, Rage Monster). Her films have played in festivals across North America and internationally. Her work blends more traditional narrative formats with elements of magic realism to create thoughtful, fantastical films that explore love, loss, grief and in her newest work, uncontrollable anger. Currently she is in development with her creative partner Becky Parsonson a feature horror film, The Apartment. Sarah is committed to telling stories that are often overlooked or misrepresented. She believes that stories have the power to connect people and change minds, and wants to spend her life finding and sharing tales people might not otherwise encounter. Sarah works at the public library and is currently trying to learn how to garden. She lives and creates in Dartmouth, NS.
