In her latest piece I ____ YOU, Sarah translates her talent for visual storytelling into an art film – the first short film she has ever written and directed.

In doing so, we peel back the curtain on her creative process and the tools that allow her to make great work.
From I____ YOU, short film by Sarah Bahbah

As the documentary shows, film production is a very collaborative process. Here, we meet some of the key people Sarah is working with to execute her vision, including the Director of Photography and the Production Designer.

I ____ YOU
Film by Sarah Bahbah
Sarah’s original short is rooted in the idea of a woman telling her partner “I love you” for the first time. She wrote and directed the film herself, working with trusted actors and crew to create a poignant and powerful piece of art that was born out of total honesty and vulnerability.
“This film is a celebration of vulnerability. I hope you take it in, watch it two, three times, full screen, sound up. And know that it was only when I promised I would stop sacrificing my entire being for another, did he finally show up.” – Sarah Bahbah
