In this episode, hosts Alexandra March & Nicole Zell interview Sarah Alderman, a photographer, filmmaker, storyteller, writer, and community advocate as well as discuss how to make a professional living as an artist, manifesting your life goals, and Sarah's highly anticipated, soon-to-be-released documentary Bypassed.About the guest:Born and raised in Coatesville to a family of artists, Sarah always had creativity and art running through her veins. She fell into the world of professional photography when a Facebook photo that she took of her twins prompted a friend of hers to ask Sarah to shoot her engagement. Two weddings later, her photos were featured in Rock n Roll bride magazine and her career catapulted from there. Her work caught the attention of Eagles team member Jason Kelce, and she photographed his wedding shortly after the Eagles’ Super Bowl win.Having grown up in Coatesville, Sarah knew that this area was where she wanted to lay down her professional roots. For the past five years, she has been working on a documentary called Bypassed, which focuses on sharing the stories of Coatesville residents, their experiences residing in the city, and their hopes for the city’s future. One of the things she noticed was that many of her interviewees said that Coatesville needed more facilities geared towards the arts. When the opportunity arose to be a part of the Midway Arts community, Sarah wanted to, in her own words, “put her money where her mouth was,” and support the mission of infusing art and creativity into the surrounding area. Sarah says, “When you have such a diverse community, art builds bridges instead of walls.”You can find out more info on Sarah here:http://www.agp-collective.com/You can find more info on Bypassed here:http://www.bypasseddocumentary.com/Be part of the Follow Your Art fam!
