About Sarah
Hello! My name is Sarah Zehner! I’m an actress, creator, vintage collector, and cat/pug mum in the San Francisco Bay Area!
I was born in British Hong Kong and moved to the States when I was 2 years old. As long as I can remember (and have physical evidence of), I loved being in front of a camera and on stage. Whether dancing with my ballet class or being the centre of attention in a home video, I knew that performing was my calling. When asked what I wanted to be when I grew up at the age of 3, my answer was always “a princess”. Since that didn’t exactly pan out, this situation seemed to be the next best thing.
I have experience in just about every type of acting, from commercials, corporate training videos, blackbox and community theatre, live book readings, feature and short films, etc.—all of it is equally fulfilling and so much fun for me!
In my spare time, I love to go thrifting, reorganise and decorate my home, make up recipes with whatever I can find in the cupboard, create spreadsheets for literally anything, and do whatever craft I can get my hands on.
“Sarah Zehner is a versatile actress with a wide range of depth, expression, and emotion, and is willing to explore and experiment in her role as a creative mind and storyteller alongside the director, writer, and cinematographer. She may draw from her own experience, or she may go somewhere else entirely for substance; either way, she not only embodies a given role, she builds and adds to it through whichever means best suits the story.”
-Mark Lu, writer and director
“Sarah Zehner is a talented actress with the unique ability of embodying the character she is playing further than what is written on paper - she draws from her own life experiences to add reality, personality, and [relation] to the role she is playing.”
-David Gelovani, director
