In 2013, she ventured into producing, collaborating with Doug Blake (The Sessions) on Smothered, a film by John Schneider. It was on this project that she met Cracked Co-Producer and First AD, David Dwiggins, who mentored her through her directorial debut.

Her feature script, Never Been Born, has been recognized as one of ten finalists in the Nantucket Film Festival’s Tony Cox Screenplay Contest and is currently in pre-production, starring Dale Dickey, Thomas Sadoski, and Annika Marks.

Julia House (Production Designer, Art Director) is a Los Angeles native. As a child with a hearing impairment that went undetected for some time, she interprets the world through visuals, where body language often speaks louder than dialogue, and the contents of a space reveal the narrative before a word is uttered. Julia's preoccupation with visual details, combined with her upbringing spent wandering sets, made her path to production design both undeniable and felicitous.

After graduating from William and Mary with a major in Chinese, she returned to LA to pursue a career in design. Since then, she has art directed award-winning shorts and worked as an art department coordinator on notable shows such as Shameless, Big Love, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Sara quickly established her expertise in painting, aging, and dying techniques applied to costumes, leveraging her fine arts background. She has had the fortune of learning from some of the film industry’s top designers, working closely with Ellen Mirojnick and Ruth Myers as an assistant designer. Over the years, Sara has worked on projects with budgets ranging from large Hollywood blockbusters to small independent films, developing her eye for quality and execution.
