Sarah Chang Tadayon, MFA, MBA, is a trilingual Chinese-Iranian storyteller with experience in Hollywood, Taiwan, and Iran, that has been featured in Deadline, Emmy Magazine, and StarTrek.com.

 

Her off camera filmography includes both independent and studio experience, including Netflix Animation, and internships with Di Novi Pictures, Shondaland, and the Television Academy Foundation's Star Trek Program.

​​​

​Her unproduced screenplays have earned multiple accolades, including Best TV Pilot in Screencraft’s True Story and Public Domain Competition,  and placement in the top 1% of all discoverable scripts on Coverfly.

​

Most recently, Sarah served as Narrative Integration Lead for a private immersive theater festival in California attended by more than 2,400 participants. She worked with dozens of artists and interactive experiences to unify narrative across a sprawling two-night theatrical event, helping creators deepen character arcs, strengthen story cohesion, avoid continuity conflicts, and craft meaningful audience interactions that expanded the world of the main production.

​

Sarah also advocates for the end of gender apartheid in the Middle East. She was the Master of Ceremonies for Let Her Sing from 2023- 2026, an annual concert in San Francisco and Los Angeles that amplifies the voices of female singers from regions where women’s voices are suppressed.

 

She has had the honor of  being a trophy presenter for the 74th Primetime Emmys and the 26th Television Academy Hall of Fame.
