From award winning writer director Sarah Hatherley
A LA VERITE FILMS PRODUCTION
director
Australian Directors' Guild nominee for Best Direction in a short film in 2016, and with a recent Director's Attachment on the rebooted Halifax series, Sarah Hatherley is ready to complete her transition from award winning advertising writer / director to long form drama.
tv crime drama
6 part limited series, Use of Force, is attracting strong interest. It is the story of a young woman recruited into the police brotherhood discovering a world of violence, intimidation and lawlessness, and that was just in the office.
awards
Sarah has made the short walk to the podium many times over her career, but the most rewarding part of filmmaking is the process of harnessing the individual talents of a group of amazing artists and craftspeople to create cinematic magic.
film festivals
Sarah's films have screened at Sitges - Spain, Edinburgh - UK, Holly Shorts, Los Angeles International, and Aud Fest - US, as well as Brisbane International, St Kilda, IF, For Film Sake, Tropfest, Peninsula, and Melbourne Women in Film - AUS
