12 hour films - Limerence and Keep dreaming Mummy are both films I made using snap chat as a canvas. Both were shown at the RSA.

In 2022 I set myself the challenge to make a film in a day and submit it to a national exhibition. I enjoyed the challenge and I made 3 films in this snap chat series, over 3 years. All autobiographical and all made in less than 12 hours. I will not make anymore like this, I get bored easily and I am scared people think I am a narcissist. Jokes aside with no budget, artists have always created self portraits as it’s cheap and accessible. They are funny, reflective and I see them as a triptych of being Mid-century. I will not make anymore in this series. Processed and done.

Much of my work is inspired from my experiences of being a woman, mother, daughter, and human of this planet. I have much to say, share and I enjoy expressing myself through filmmaking. I am fascinated by digital technology and how it is changing our human experiences & society.

I am an avid editor that loves dancing. I like technology. I am comfortable making a film on my phone as I am using a broadcast camera. I like talking & travelling. Walter Murch and Andrea Arnold are my fantasy coffee dates. You can get in touch via e-mail: sarastroud56@gmail.com or my mobile.
