Please join Harry Mott, Chair, and Kathleen Milnes, Assistant Chair, in welcoming Tania Sarra to Digital Media's Spring 2021 Speaker Series.
Tania Sarra has worked as an executive in the film industry for over 12 years. Her vast media background, which began in PR, grew to senior roles across the film industry, breathing life into feature films through international rights sales and acquisitions.
Through her company, Hot Sauce, Tania helps creatives discover how decisions are discussed and evaluated from the business perspective.
Tania is a distribution and film business expert. She has held leading roles on sales teams for UK based indies and executive produced their original productions. Most recently, she spearheaded all the feature film buying for MGM Studios across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
In 2015, the Business of Film named her a top Upcoming Executive, and in 2014 she was named a Future Leader by Screen International. She is a member of the Advisory Board for the London Film Academy and has sat on various film festival panels as an industry expert. Tania has been the Guest of Honour at the Marche du Film Producer's Breakfast at the Cannes Film Festival, which celebrates producing talent across the world, and she has worked with Strategic Partners to mentor upcoming producers and writers.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Tania co-founded the Global Women in Film Club to offer women in the film industry networking opportunities when there weren't any. GWIFC has grown to amass a global community of members and continues weekly. Hot Sauce is her first entrepreneurial endeavor.
