PGP / SPD My story:

This Life Chose Me: Filmmaking, Acting and the Reality Behind the Glamour Something happened recently within one of my filmmaking circles that made me want to speak on something a little bigger than one bit of drama. Scare actors are not movie actors. That doesn’t mean scare acting isn’t valid, because it absolutely is. It takes confidence, timing, physicality, presence, improvisation and the ability to create an immediate reaction. But screen acting is a different discipline. Playing an actual character with history, flaws, emotions, relationships, motivations and a completely different personality is not as easy as good actors make it look. And good actors really do make it look easy. It isn’t. You can be filming one emotional scene in the morning, something completely different later, then return to that first emotional state from another angle and have to match the same performance all over again. Some scare actors can absolutely cross over and be brilliant screen actors too, but n...

Celebrating how far I've come: I’ve come such a long way. I know success is defined differently depending on who you ask, but since rebuilding my mobility and getting out of my wheelchair, I’ve had so many achievements to celebrate. ❤️ I’ve been featured in publications and media, worked as an actor, producer and filmmaker, appeared in movies and independent film projects, written blogs and books, created and released music, designed artwork and products, modelled, performed, spoken publicly and continued developing my own creative projects. Alongside that, I’ve spent years advocating for disabled people, survivors and vulnerable members of our communities. I’ve supported individuals through difficult situations, completed safeguarding and advocacy training, volunteered with charities and community organisations, founded support spaces, helped manage large online communities, created Aycliffe Alternative Magazine and used my platforms to raise awareness, celebrate local talent and ...

Daggers Inn - Available to watch now: 9/10 – A Fantastic Showcase of Independent British Filmmaking -Raya Films. Daggers Inn is an atmospheric mystery that combines suspense, dark humour and supernatural intrigue in a way that feels distinctly British. The rural setting creates a constant sense of mystery, while the cinematography makes excellent use of the beautiful locations. Anna Danvers delivers a strong lead performance as Donna Revan, supported by a talented cast who bring the film's intriguing world to life. The story unfolds at a steady pace, gradually revealing its secrets while maintaining an engaging atmosphere throughout. One of the things I admire most is the passion behind the project and just how beautifully it has been shot. Every frame feels like a piece of art. Independent filmmaking takes enormous commitment, creativity and determination, and Daggers Inn is a wonderful example of what can be achieved by people who genuinely believe in the stories they want to tel...

Free document for Aspiring Filmmakers: 📥 Free Download: Script Breakdown Checklist (Per Scene) One of the biggest lessons I've learned while working in pre-production is that a thorough script breakdown can save countless hours later in the filmmaking process. To help other filmmakers, producers, assistant directors, production managers and film students, I've created my own Script Breakdown Checklist (Per Scene). This checklist has been designed to prompt you through every scene of a script, helping you identify everything your production may need before you get to set. It covers far more than just cast and props, including: - Scene analysis and story purpose - Cast, extras and stunt requirements - Wardrobe, hair and makeup - Props, set dressing and special effects - Camera, lighting and sound - Locations and accessibility - Vehicles, animals and specialist departments - Health & Safety, risk assessments and PAT testing - Licences, permits, insurance and legal considerati...

The Briefcase: Every person working on a script should have a lockable briefcase! 🎬🕵🏻‍♀️ Not only does it make you feel like you're some kind of secret agent (which I'm absolutely embracing 😂), but it's also an amazing way to keep your work organised and take it wherever you go. Now I just need a few power suits to complete the look! 😆 Joking aside, this has been perfect for the movie script breakdown I'm currently working on. Everything has its place, and because it expands, there's plenty of room to add more documents as the project grows. As an autistic person, staying organised really helps me. Having everything together means I can easily pick up where I left off without feeling overwhelmed, which makes such a difference when working on larger creative projects. A huge thank you to my Dad for thinking of me and giving me this brilliant briefcase. 🥹❤️ I'm genuinely so grateful. It's going to take a little while to finish the script breakdown, but I...

Becoming Who I Dreamed Of: I just wanted to take a moment to be present and truly appreciate how far I’ve come. There was a time I was bedbound and housebound, fighting every single day just to get through life — and if you had told me five years ago that I’d be stepping onto a movie set next month, she would have laughed in disbelief. Yet here we are. I work epically hard across everything I do, and because I’m always focused on future goals and building the next project, I don’t always stop to appreciate what I’ve already achieved. But today, I am. I’ve built incredible connections across the music industry, film industry, Juggalo fam communities, charities, advocacy groups, and community organisations. Behind the scenes, we’re still pushing forward with mental health awareness, supporting Let’s Talk North East CIC, setting up community spaces and continuing to create meaningful change. Creativity has honestly kept me alive. I love creating, building, connecting and helping people. A...

Let’s Talk Safety in the Film Industry: The film industry can be an incredible space — creativity, collaboration, storytelling — all coming together to create something meaningful. It’s where ideas come to life and voices are amplified. But like any industry, it isn’t without its risks. And the truth is, recognising those risks early doesn’t just protect your career — it protects your wellbeing too. One of the clearest warning signs is a lack of transparency. When a production is vague about contracts, payment, roles, or expectations, that isn’t “creative freedom” — it’s uncertainty being normalised. You should always know exactly what you’re agreeing to, how you’ll be credited, and whether you’ll be paid. If those conversations are avoided, deflected, or rushed past, it’s worth asking why. Pressure is another red flag that often gets overlooked. Opportunities in this industry can feel rare, so when someone says “decide now or lose it”, it can be difficult to pause. But urgency like th...

Vlog update ❣️ ( Correction *in MARCH ahaha 😂 ) I’ve just shared a new vlog where I talk about everything I’ve been working on lately — from upcoming projects and creative ideas to the magazines and community initiatives I’m involved in. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes at the moment, including future editions of Aycliffe Alternative Magazine, creative work through Kawaii Doll Decora, music with K•Doll, and the wider community projects I’m passionate about supporting. I thought it might be nice to put it all in one place so people can see what’s coming next and how these projects all connect to the bigger goal of building more inclusive, creative community spaces.

Celebrating a milestone today. 🎬✨ It’s been over a year since I joined IMDb and started being involved in film projects, and what a journey it has been so far. From stepping into creative spaces, connecting with talented people, and exploring opportunities in the film world — it’s been exciting, surreal, and incredibly rewarding. As a disabled creator and advocate, stepping into industries like film can sometimes feel intimidating, but creativity has always been one of the ways I build community, tell stories, and challenge barriers. Here’s to more projects, more creativity, and more representation in the arts. The journey is only just beginning.

I’m Sarah Wingfield — a creator, advocate, writer, community organiser, and all-round creative dork.

City Rush 4 Wins October Award for “Most Technically Excellent” at Athens International Monthly Art Film Festival 2025 I’m proud to share that City Rush 4 has received the October Award for “Most Technically Excellent” at the Athens International Monthly Art Film Festival 2025. This award recognises the technical craft behind the film — the precision, planning, and execution that go into making everything work cohesively on screen. It’s a category that highlights the often unseen work: cinematography, editing, sound, pacing, and the many technical decisions that shape the final result. This recognition belongs to the entire team. Film is never the work of one person, and City Rush 4 was a genuine collaborative effort. Every member of the cast and crew contributed skill, time, and professionalism, and this award reflects that collective dedication. Creating film is rarely easy. It requires adaptability, long hours, problem-solving, and commitment, often under pressure. To have that work...

Diamond Dogs (2025) Review – A Quirky, Chaotic British Heist Caper With Heart A solid 7/10 stars! By Sarah Wingfield The heist movie has had many incarnations over the years—from the smooth precision of Ocean’s Eleven to the slapstick charm of The Pink Panther . But Diamond Dogs (2025), directed by Kris Smith and co-written with Joseph Betts , barrels onto the screen with a distinctly British flavour—equal parts crime caper, comedy of errors, and heartwarming ode to friendship. The story follows the legendary bromance of Paul Canterbury ( Nick Elliott ) and Rick Foster ( Andy Blithe ), whose cheeky banter and quick-fire one-liners carry the film from its slow-burn opening to its chaotic, diamond-studded finale. Their bond is instantly endearing: whether trading jabs about air fryers, stumbling through slapstick antics, or breaking into tangents mid-conversation (as we all know someone does), the duo feel refreshingly authentic. What sets Diamond Dogs apart from many low-budget heis...
