Sara McIntyre was the kid who took apart a new toy as soon it was placed in her hands. She possessed no malicious intent or destructive tendency, simply a deep-rooted curiosity to find out what was behind the initially perceived object. This same curiosity still propels her life and drives her film stories. Her approach inevitably leads to the deconstruction of fairy tales – of all kinds – but never seems to lose the magic inherent in a story, a dream, or a gift. Sara’s films are intelligent, thought-provoking, colourful, humorous and inspiring. She asks an audience to go deep into their beliefs and find out what’s most valuable in life. She is a defender of beauty, humanity, sovereignty, laughter, and self-awareness. In this way, she fits the mold of the self-reflective Canadian filmmaker, but her stories are universal in their specificity – and always contain the spark of joy. Sara has had success as an actress, casting director, producer, writer, personal coach, entrepreneur and career advisor. She is now actively building her career as a Canadian Film Director.
