Sarah Sloan is a freelance creative producer working in her home community on the Carolina coast. Sloan specializes in a community-made media production process in which collaborators (also known as subjects) and other community members are story partners. Sloan is currently producing a short documentary about reproductive justice in North Carolina and a feature-length documentary about a group of a group of wealthy outsiders called the Patriotic Millionaires coming to the small town of Whiteville, NC. For the past three years Sloan has been producing a feature documentary about exploring the intersection of historical sexual trauma, southern culture, and silence in communities. The piece follows a choreographer as he explores his own rural communities' story with sexual trauma as he creates a new work which will premiere on his own communities’ stage. In 2022, Sloan produced the feature length documentary InJustice: Hidden Crisis in Virginia’s Prisons for the ACLU of Virginia and was Production Manager for Being with Yourself, produced by Sena.la (White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch, Flee). Sloan was an impact coordinator on the Steve James (Hoop Dreams) documentary series America to Me, which won Best Limited Documentary Series at the Critics’ Choice Awards. In 2018 she was a Social Impact Fellowship recipient from Participant Media (When They See Us, Just Mercy, Judas and the Black Messiah).
