بیوگرافی
Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin to British parents, multi award winning actor, writer, director Sarah Deakins spent the first year of her life in Chicago, until her parents decided to move to Canada. She was heavily inspired by her artist stepmother, deeply affected by her descent into Schizophrenia, and having lost this childhood idol to the streets, her work often illustrates the fragility and unexpected integrity of the disenfranchised and the down trodden. A graduate of the University of Victoria theater program, Ms. Deakins has extensive stage and screen credits. The first short film she penned and starred in, "Late", went to Cannes as part of Telefilm Canada's "Not Short On Talent" Program, and more recently Deakins has collected over 25 awards on the festival circuit as the writer and director of "Greece", produced by Brightlight Pictures. She is the creator, writer, director of an award winning 1/2 hour pilot, "Yellow", again with Brightlight Pictures, and her feature film script, "Violet", recently won the top prizes in the Outstanding Screenplay Competition and the Golden Script Competition, placed in the top 40 of the Academy Nicholl Fellowship competition, and was an honorable mention in the Screencraft Feature Screenplay competition, and a runner up in their Film Fund Competition. Ms Deakins makes her home in three main cities, splitting the year between LA, Toronto, and Vancouver.
