WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT SARAH

Sarah Cogan is exceptionally talented and singularly committed to her craft. Working with her on “18 1/2” was a complete delight. I learned from her constantly and highly recommend the enlightening and eminently kind experience of her knowledge and company.
— Daniel M. - Writer/Producer, 18 1/2
[Sarah] truly helped me immensely in getting a footing in the industry as well as with developing my design portfolio… I highly recommend her as a designer and as a great person, in general.
— Jen M. - Early Career Costume Designer
Sarah came onboard the GIRL/GROUP team with infectious enthusiasm and utmost professionalism. ... I’ve been especially impressed with her comprehensive creative process, which has included in-depth discussions about character, time, place, and theme, extensive research into the world of the film, and a host of renderings and color palates to illustrate various design options. ... her understanding of the intricate concerns of independent filmmaking and her willingness to work within those parameters immediately put me at ease in conquering a period feature film for the first time... I am beyond grateful to be working with her and so very confident in how my story will come to life thanks to her keen eye and profound understanding of visual storytelling.
— Susan M. - Writer/Creator, Girl/Group
