Hello,

Sarah Ontiveros is native to Houston, Texas and has been working in media production for over a decade. Her early years focused on photography of all mediums, shooting for local bands, Houston music festivals, local publications, weddings, and any and all special events. Eventually she transitioned to portraiture and opened her own private photography studio. In 2016, she graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a Bachelors degree in English Literature and a concentration in Creative Writing. Wanting to align her passions for visual and written storytelling, Sarah enrolled in a filmmaking course at Houston Community College. Production Management was the sole class she completed and it is what propelled her into the film industry in Houston. She has since worked on a number of local film sets and projects. Most notably as a First Assistant Director, Producer, Actor, and a first-time Writer and Director. Her debut Narrative Short Film was also selected as a finalist in the 2023 HCAS CineSpace competition, where a total of eleven finalists were chosen out of 400 submissions worldwide. 

Sarah continues to photograph alongside her film work and is open to all media ventures you may have in mind. Don't hesitate to reach out via the contact page.
