Sarah Huston (she/they)

Sarah Huston is an actor, stunt performer, filmmaker, and artist, whose work often explores the complexities of the human condition, examining both mental and physical strengths and limitations.

As an actor and stunt performer, Sarah has worked on local and international productions including Joe vs. Carole, The Fall Guy, and the upcoming War Machine. In 2023, she portrayed Finn in the critically acclaimed play The Bed Party.

Sarah’s creative process is as varied as her skillset — some days are spent writing in solitude or analysing a script, others relentlessly training a specific physical skill or working on a film set. It can be a slow burn of daydreams and brainstorms or a fast-paced juggle of creativity and logistics.

In 2025, Sarah completed the psychological thriller short film The Brutal Alchemy of Water, which she wrote, produced, and starred in. The concept for the film originated from a movement-based performance piece developed during her 2023 Incubate Residency with Placemakers Gold Coast.

Sarah is also the founder and producer of Yeah Girl, a global media platform celebrating the intersection of women’s skateboarding and creativity. In 2019, Sarah spoke about this work on the Hollywood Content Creators Panel at Mobile World Congress in Los Angeles.

Currently, Sarah describes her practice as explorative, emotive, and evolving — a reflection of her commitment to pushing creative boundaries while staying grounded in personal truth. Through this program, she aims to generate fresh momentum, forge new collaborations, and expand the limits of her own artistic language.

You’ll often find Sarah daydreaming and people-watching in local coffee shops, recharging at the beach or in the rainforest, or catching the latest films at the cinema.
