Known primarily for her acting career 'In Her Name' is Sarah Carter's debut as a feature director and filmmaker, which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival 2022. Canadian-born, Sarah trained classically in theater, dance, and fine arts at Ryerson University Toronto. When she arrived in Los Angeles, her acting career took off quickly with string of long running series regular roles.
