Sarah created and produced the first 70 episodes of the award winning disability community television series ‘No Limits’. Sarah mentored and trained a number of disabled performers including the late comedian and writer Stella Young. Sarah’s short documentary STROKE A CHORD (2012) about a choir of stroke survivors who can sing but not speak was a finalist in the ATOM Awards in 2013.
