Director Biography - Sarah Bonrepaux

Sarah is a bilingual French actress based in Los Angeles. Her directorial debut ‘Strayed' has been selected in several prestigious Film Festivals, including the Academy Awards qualifying Hollyshorts. She will play the female lead role in the upcoming horror feature film 'Schimbarea' directed by Patrick Corcoran and will also be seen in the movie 'Exceptional Beings' directed by Njedeh Anthony.

Born in the South of France, she started acting by performing on stage in a variety of drama & comedies. After training at the prestigious Cours Florent Drama School in Paris, she expanded her career in Film and Television by booking guests roles in feature films; among others the anthology horror comedy film The ABCs of Death (Segment "X" directed by Xavier Gens). She then transitioned to international projects by booking her first major role through her very first self tape, in the American thriller "Cam2Cam" directed by Joel Soisson, opposite Tammin Sursok.

After a break where she had to put her career on hold due to health issues, she made her way back on stage by playing the lead role (Anna) in the Disney musical show 'Frozen Sing-Along', adapted from the famous motion picture. Sarah was also seen in the French feature film Monsieur je-sais-tout (2018), directed by Stéphan Archinard & François Prévôt-Leygonie, opposite Arnaud Ducret . She obtained her Green Card and is now based in Los Angeles where she pursues her career in Film and TV.

Director Statement

What if all of a sudden our physical abilities were taken away? What would we do?
The idea of this film came to me a few years ago, when I got seriously ill. I got a chronic illness, and my body suddenly & violently shut down. I spent months stuck in bed, unable to do anything. It was brutal and sudden. It was something absolutely terrifying. Like I was « trapped in my own body ».

As a horror movie fan, I wanted to write something which would recreate that feeling of having all your physical abilities shutting down. That fear of being unable to do anything, of losing total control. I imagined this story and I promised to myself that I would recover ,no matter what, I would make this film and bring in front of festivals!
In the meantime, I recovered and I got my US green card. I went to shoot this film, and had the chance to be surrounded by a very talented and wonderful crew. Now is the time to show it, and I really hope you’ll enjoy it!
