Writer Biography - Christine Hughes, Sarah de Leon

Sarah de Leon is a writer, producer, and talent manager currently working at Citizen Skull Productions and 13 Paces. She was born in San Diego, California and has only ever lived in So-Cal since. She attended Mt. Carmel High School in Rancho Penasquitos where she was highly involved in the performing arts. Her success in writing one-act plays and love for television inspired her to learn how to translate her talents to the screen. In 2018 Sarah graduated from Dodge College of Film & Media Arts with a BA in screenwriting and a minor in television production. While in school, she wrote/co-wrote four completed short films that have received awards for "Best Dramedy", and "Best Narrative Short Film". Through a love of helping others and a passion for storytelling, Sarah taught herself how to produce and since 2015 has successfully teamed up with directors and writers to produce two limited web series, two short films, three television pilots, and two independent movies. After a year working as an executive assistant at SMS Talent, Inc., Sarah is now employed at Citizen Skull Productions where she works as a talent manager, and 13 Paces Production Company alongside president and filmmaker, Anthony Nardolillo.

Christine Hughes is an actress from the San Francisco Bay Area, and currently working in Los Angeles.

Writer Statement

We want to create stories that are grounded in history, that inspire activism and racial equality. Our story will highlight an aspect of the 1960s that tends to be forgotten in the midst of so much cultural and political change happening during this decade.
