- Biography:
- Sarah’s a film critic for the internationally syndicated radio show Hollywood 360 Radio Network. She can be heard weekly broadcasting in Chicago on both Hollywood 360 Radio Network and The Twilight Zone Network that covers 168 combined stations including the entertainment markets of New York and LA, in addition to the international markets of Brussels and Vienna. Founder and publisher of Sarah’s Backstage Pass website, Sarah enjoys promoting the latest in film news. She’s conducted Q&A sessions for major Hollywood film screenings with the lead actors present, interviewed celebrities (Ben Affleck and Channing Tatum to name a few) and covered Red Carpet Premieres & Awards Shows in Chicago and LA. Her written film reviews have appeared in magazines, online and in the TribLocal newspaper, the Chicago Tribune subsidiary, of which she was the regional Arts and Entertainment columnist. As a free-lance writer, she is very honored to have her articles appear on RogerEbert.com and to have had the pleasure of interviewing Ebert in 2011. Serving as a judge on film juries for the International 48 Hour Film Project and the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival provides her with a personal sense of gratification and the promoting of the arts. Her lengthy career (20 years) as a classroom teacher of gifted literature is a perfect match in critiquing children and family films. Sarah’s Master’s Degree is in Reading from Northern Illinois University. For the past eight years Sarah has hosted the Variety Children's Charities fundraising event, the live telecast of the Academy Awards at a local movie theater. In 2015, she was asked to serve as a member of their Board of Directors on the Variety of Illinois State Board. Sarah’s an active member of the Chicago Film Critics Association and attends weekly film screenings in Chicago. An avid traveler both nationally and abroad Sarah’s, usually, in pursuit of ‘the’ new hot restaurant as well seeking out the local cinema.
