Sarah Juma

WRITER

FIRST YEAR - LOS ANGELES

An escapee from the dread of stock market charts, Sarah is an ex-investment banker currently receiving her MFA from Loyola Marymount's School of Film and Television, eight thousand miles from Nigeria, where she was born and raised. She has placed in the Austin Film Festival Teleplay contest twice, and directed a short, Trinket, a Shore Scripts Short Film Fund finalist, which will screen at festivals early next year.

When she's not writing characters with big ethical dilemmas, she's binge-watching a limited series or debating Formula 1 with friends.
