Sarah Carter ‘98
Sarah Carter, former Ballater House Head, was a frequent performer in choir and theatrical productions, and competed on the world stage in Debate and Public Speaking. Now Sarah is an award-winning actor, director, writer, and producer whose career spans television, film, music, and creative mentorship. Sarah moved to Los Angeles at 19 and quickly rose to prominence with starring roles in acclaimed television series including Shark, Falling Skies, and Rogue, as well as major films such as Final Destination and The Vow. Over the course of her acting career, she has led more than 200 episodes of television and collaborated with renowned creators including Steven Spielberg, Judd Apatow, and Spike Lee.
Carter made her feature directorial debut in 2022, with In Her Name, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, won the People's Choice Audience Award, and went on to receive over 50 international festival honors. The film marked her emergence as a distinctive voice in independent cinema and affirmed her belief in storytelling as a tool for transformation.
Sarah is the founder of Cheshire Moon Productions, an artist-led company devoted to emotionally resonant, spiritually charged storytelling across film, documentary, music, and visual art. Through every project, she is guided by a singular mission: to make beauty from truth-and help others do the same. Sarah is also the co-founder of Petits Salons, a community of independent filmmakers and musicians that gather bi-monthly for industry events that highlight behind-the-scenes stories and the courage it takes to bring art to life, with the aim of helping visionaries find their people, trust their voice, and take the leap.
Sarah "often thinks about how formative my success and friendships at Balmoral Hall were in shaping who I've become. Now that I have an eight-year-old daughter, I can only hope we find a school for girls that is as encouraging, rigorous, and empowering as BH was for me."
Balmoral Hall School and the Alum Office are pleased to shine the spotlight on Sarah Carter '98 who was also recently recognized by our prefects as the January Alum of the Month!
