Sarah C. Poindexter received an M.F.A. in film and Media Arts from Temple University in 1999. She was recently awarded a Paul Robeson Fund grant to initiate research for a youth media project that investigates public school reform. She also produced three one-hour documentaries on race/ethnicity, sexual orientation and religion respectively for WYBE's Tolerance Project, an examination of diversity and tolerance in nine different Philadelphia-area high schools. Sarah also collaborated -- with students from Scribe's Documentary History Project for Youth -- on a series of four short form documentaries for Scribe Video Center's Broad Street History Project, which used the city's main thoroughfare as a starting point. Sarah has also worked with the Balch Institute and openly gay teenagers to produce a half-hour documentary about how homophobia affects their lives. While Sarah's main interest is in youth media, she has also had success working as a writer and producer in Hollywood. In 2000, Sarah sold a feature length screenplay to Artisan Entertainment and produced The Source Hip-Hop Music Awards for the United Paramount Network (UPN).
