Sarah Jayne Brown

Sarah Jayne Brown is a Black-Jewish writer-director based in Los Angeles whose work explores the intersections of desire, identity, and emotional survival. Her storytelling blends dark humor, surrealism, and psychological depth, often centering messy, magnetic women who live on the edge of their own undoing. She is currently spearheading an Indiegogo campaign for her upcoming short, Unicorn’s Dilemma, which is based on lived experience and serves as a proof of concept for a feature-length project about the dangerous contradictions inside “liberated” relationships. Sarah’s background in independent film, and trauma recovery deeply informs her perspective as a filmmaker. She is especially interested in crafting stories that speak to underrepresented Black, queer and bi+ women, survivors and anyone navigating the blurred boundaries between fantasy and reality.
