Sara is a Berlin-based screenwriter and researcher from Italy. She holds an MA in Screenwriting from the University of West London and an MA (Hons) in Modern, Comparative and Post-Colonial Literature from the University of Bologna. She discovered her passion for postcolonial literatures after a scholarship in Montreal, Canada. As a non-Indigenous writer, she is aware that she is approaching Indigenous history and culture from a problematic perspective. She is also aware that Indigenous voices have long been marginalized within dominant narratives. Therefore, she always strives to prioritize Indigenous sources in her work. In 2025 she was a semi-finalist in the ScreenCraft Film Fund and Emerging Screenwriters Screenplay Competition.
