Sara Senju, Aspiring Filmmaker
Hi there! My name is Sara and I am the creative director, videographer and the editor for all my projects. I am based in Los Angeles, CA and currently working on branded content for social media, sports montages and short films. I am also the Digital Creator for an Instagram account of a well-known sports brand.
Film and storytelling run in my blood. My grandmother was a well known screenwriter for drama back in the 1930’s in Japan. My mother was also a huge fan of drama movies and TV shows, and was the reason why I grew up watching a lot of drama films. From the beginning, I felt a deep connection with this genre and I grew up understanding the complex and deep human emotions of characters from a very young age.
Most of my videos are made with cinematic music. This genre of music is my favorite. I have an extensive background in cinematic and classical music. I was the concert master playing the violin in my high school orchestra and have entered numerous competitions for classical piano. I’ve won multiple awards, including placing 1st in the Great Lakes Regionals for piano when I was 17.
I originally moved to LA to pursue acting, only to realize a several years ago that my true passion was behind the camera and telling compelling stories. My love for drama, in-depth knowledge of cinematic music, eye for detail and relentless strive for perfection, makes me perfect for this job. My long-term aspiration is to become one of the most sought after filmmakers for sports commercials and short films.
