Third person slightly obnoxo bio:
Sara Kaye Larson is a writer, media artist, and teacher. She has worked on various film and video
productions and even some buttoned-up media projects with big name corporations (NDA applies
here) but her personal work focuses on domestic travel (driving), the American experience(driving),
and old fashioned storytelling with some individualized neurosis scattered throughout. She is the
creator of several web projects: TheBiggestButte.Com, TheOfficeSignProject.Com and a few blogs
about the local weather in the many places she has lived (http://80andsunny.blogspot.com/ and http:
//spittinfromthemitten.blogspot.com/). Her academic creds include a BFA in Interdisciplinary
Electronic Arts and an MA in Media Arts from the famously leftistandlaborfriendly Wayne State
University in Detroit, MI. She wrote for the A&E section of The South End and was director of the
Moving Media Festival. Her graduate work was concentrated in independent and alternative film and
media distribution. Her interviewing skills got her gigs on some interesting documentary projects,
one giving her the opportunity to interview city leaders from all over the world and another to interview
an old-timer at Kronk’s Gym in Detroit, MI. Sara's autobiographical documentary about being a young
adult cancer survivor, “Going Nodal : The Hodge Experience” won first place documentary in the
NextFrame Film Festival and was screened as part of the Kodak Emerging Filmmakers Program at
the 2005 Cannes International Film Festival. She is a young adult cancer survivor (and violent crime
survivor advocate - details to come in book written in her golden years if she lives that long) advocate
and editor of Waiting Room Magazine. In addition to her creative writing instruction volunteer work
with WriteGirl in Los Angeles, Sara has taught college writing, video production, and analog & digital
storytelling classes at Wayne State University, Detroit Film Center, Echo Park Film Center, and Henry
Ford Community College. Sara now teaches at East Arkansas Community College and continues to
write and produce independent web, video, and publishing projects.
She is currently for hire in Memphis, TN to make a documentary about your pet or to assist with any of
your research and writing, travel advising, or video and web media needs.
Other current projects include: Vistas Video Vimeo Channel, an 80 and Sunny Book and A Short Story
Lovers Story Chain (invite only - but if you send a convincing email you might get in on the action).
