About

I’m Sacha Douglas, a four-time international award-winning screenwriter, director, and production coordinator based in Melbourne. With 20+ years creating content and seven years of formal training in screen, media, directing, and screenwriting, I love developing stories from early concept through budgeting, pitching, casting, and production.

I’m the creator of the short film/web series The Arrival, recognized in the top 11% of projects worldwide on Coverfly and FilmFreeway, and I’ve had industry pitching opportunities including a script request from producer Marsy Robinson. I also work across production planning (including remote line producing for an international feature in development), crew roles like 1st AD and script supervision, and hands-on post support through editing—bringing a collaborative, detail-focused approach to every production.
