About

Sarah Fan

I'm a producer, strategist, and creative at the intersection of entertainment, technology, and culture. I've spent the last few years building projects that move people: from internationally screened films to community events that bring thousands together.

I grew up between cultures, and that's shaped how I tell stories: with empathy, specificity, and a belief that the most universal things are also the most personal. Whether I'm in a production office, a boardroom, or a dance studio, I bring the same energy: curious, intentional, and always in pursuit of work that actually matters.


Based in

Los Angeles, CA

Education

USC Iovine and Young Academy

Raised in

Shanghai, China

Currently

Head of Community at Photon


Outside of work, I'm usually watching something obscure, choreographing something new, or exploring a city I've never been to. I believe in building things slowly and well, and in the rare magic of a project that makes someone feel less alone.
