Sarah Devlin is a talented filmmaker from New Orleans who took home the Gold in the 2012 Scholastic Awards – and a $10,000 scholarship – for her portfolio of films. They range from music videos to documentaries, from English to French!

You can view all her videos on the Alliance for Young Artists & Writer’s YouTube channel. Start watching! You can also learn more about Sarah with this great article from The Times-Picayune or if you are still in video-watching mode, check out this piece from WWL-TV.
