Sara Robin is a German filmmaker based in Boston. Her work explores human connection, often through the lens of future worlds. She loves telling stories at the intersection of documentary and science-fiction.

Sara is the winner of the 2023 HollyShorts screenwriting contest with her sci-fi script “Switch” that takes a darkly humorous look at virtual relationships.

She is in production on “Your Attention Please”, a feature documentary exploring how we can overcome the addictive pull of the attention economy. The film features Tristan Harris (The Social Dilemma), Frances Haugen (Facebook Whistleblower), Cal Newport (Author: Digital Minimalism), and many more.

Sara’s 2020 short film about an undocumented teen "Cranberry Nights", starring Inde Navarrette (13 Reasons Why, Superman & Lois) has screened in over a dozen festivals around the world, including Holly Shorts and SCAD Savannah, and received awards for best directing and best film.

Alongside her independent work, Sara has created commercial content for a variety of high-profile clients including Netflix, Jordan Brand, and Dunkin’ Donuts.

Sara is an avid traveler and adventurer. She has lived in Germany, Australia, and the United States, and filmed on locations around the world, including China, Tanzania, and Poland.

In her free time, Sara enjoys hiking mountains and climbing walls, and is typically working on at least three different projects at once. She values open communication and the courage to imagine a better world (ideally one in which Star Wars sequels never saw the light of day). Occasionally, she can be bribed with wine and chocolate.
