STORYTELLER
about | sarah nean bruce
storyteller | writer ~ author ~ novelist
Sarah Nean Bruce {nom de plume ¿S. Nightfeather Bruce¿} works in Hollywood as a filmmaker, journalist and writer.
A longtime storyteller who grew up in Seattle Washington, her hometown often looked like a film-noir movie to her. Listening to the hypnotic sounds of the rain and seeing the world with both dark and light elements further intrigued her.
Ever the connoisseur of supernatural tales since grade school she developed a fascination for witches, fairies, angels, ghosts and vampires, re-imagining and re-telling many classic stories under mystical conditions to her family, her friends and sometimes on-air at the local radio station where her mom worked graveyard shift as a DJ. Her father grew up in the United Kingdom, which inspired her as she frequently envisioned herself a ¿long lost fairy princess witch¿ who would someday travel to reclaim the family¿s hidden castle near MacBeth¿s witches caves in Forres, Scotland.
Ms. Bruce moved away from an overcast Pacific Northwest to sunny Los Angeles immediately after receiving her Bachelor¿s Degree from Western Washington University.
Enthused by the dark stories of Bram Stoker, Wes Craven and Anne Rice, Ms. Bruce spent a year and a half writing a screenplay and a novel based on her childhood interpretation of William Shakespeare¿s Romeo & Juliet titled VAMPYR X WICCAN: The Tragedy of Romeus & Juliette.
On the brighter side, Ms. Bruce developed and co-executive produced two family films with Larry Levinson Productions for the Hallmark Channel, that continue to air annually on the network during the Valentine¿s Day and Thanksgiving holidays.
On the darker side, she was a writer-for-hire when she co-wrote a script loosely based on a short story titled WITCHES OF BEVERLY HILLS. Additionally, she served as a director-for-hire on the $50,000 D-Movie cult horror/thriller BRAM STOKER¿S WAY OF THE VAMPIRE that reportedly made over $1 Million in its worldwide release.
Sarah has written short stories, films, and television series and worked as a story/script consultant on several major motion pictures. She also served as an Editor and an Entertainment News Reporter for a small newspaper in North Texas, a Teen Columnist for a regional newspaper in Western Washington and was the first female Editor-In-Chief of her school newspaper.
Sarah lives in the Hills of West Hollywood, California. She started writing her second otherworldly novel along with her umpteenth screenplay/television series, and is attached to produce/direct several projects. Sarah continues her work in journalism and reporting when she periodically appears on-camera in a beauty news webTV series. {r2010}
