Sarah Perez is a Queer Cuban-Filipina Filmmaker based in the Pacific Northwest. She currently works full-time as a Producer and Project Manager at ZP Productions. Sarah also wears many hats as a freelance creative, most often Producer, Photographer, Cinematographer, and Drone Pilot. 

Sarah believes that storytelling has the power to cultivate empathy and understanding between people of all backgrounds. Her mission as a filmmaker is to: remind people that they aren’t alone, and that someone understands what they’ve been through. Shine a light on the important stories our society likes to keep in the dark. Give people a chance to express themselves and share their experiences in a safe space. And show other people of color and queer folks like her that their perspectives matter, in front of and behind the camera. 

When Sarah’s off the clock, you’ll probably still find her with a camera in her hands—often her Canonet film camera. She likes to bring it with her on all her hiking, biking, paddleboarding, and camping adventures.
