I am firstSara concepted, developed and directed the series ‘I Am First’ that tells the story of everyday individuals who are taking great strides to become the first. In the two inaugural episodes, Sara worked closely with talent Amira (NYC) and Nathan (Paris) to build and tell their story through archival footage, self-capture and a produced shoot to weave a story that was visceral with meaning.
