Sierra Dann

There is so much that goes into finding the perfect team to bring your story to life. I’ve created this section to tell you a bit more about me and what I value to help you decide if we’d be a good match! Of course, I’d love if you sent me a message to chat, but if you aren’t there yet, I hope this helps!

The Basics

I am originally from Maine, USA but moved to Ireland in 2021 to pursue my Master’s. That said, my dream is to travel the globe to work on film and live productions, so I am more than open to traveling for work!

I currently work as a producer, account manager, and creative developer at a social-led marketing production agency, but I often take time away to pursue other projects. Some of the clients I have worked with include: Optimum Nutrition, Marks & Spencers, and Revive Active.

What I love

I adore traveling and find a lot of confidence and growth in solo travel. Some of my favorite solo trips have been to Egypt, Iceland, and Italy. While I’m from Maine in the USA, I live in Ireland and spent a few months living in Germany as well. All of this helps me communicate with diverse people.

In my daily life, I love being outside, hiking/camping, learning new skills (currently I spend my time accidentally catapulting off of a windsurf rig!) and listening to one of my many carefully curated playlists (which heavily feature Elton John & Noah Kahan)

Values

I believe we each have a responsibility to use our passions to make the world a better place. My goal is to earn the opportunity to work on projects that bring happiness to others while giving voice to important but silenced or ignored stories.

In all of my pursuits - creative, academic, and personal - I gravitate towards those which focus on women, the LGBTQIA+ community, and mental health. Heartstopper and Big Little Lies are perfect examples of stories I aspire to tell.

Thesbian

I have training and practical experience in theatre with a focus in directing. I’ve also worked in acting, lighting design/electrics, scenic design, and set construction. The ephemerality of the medium, as well as the opportunity to guide collaboration between artists to find new stories in well-known scripts, excites me.

One of my favorite playwrights is Paula Vogel who wrote a hilarious and touching LGBTQIA+ centered show I had the opportunity to direct called And Baby Makes Seven. If you haven’t read it - you must!

Scholar

I have an honors BA in Theatre and Communication and completed my MSc in Digital Marketing Strategy at Trinity College Dublin with distinction in 2022. Additionally, I spent my high school years studying STEM fields at a top ranked boarding school.

Although I’m done in the classroom, I recently acted as as 1st author of an academic article accepted for publishing. This article coins a new term relating to representations of women and postfeminism in TV.

Alright, enough about me! I’d love to learn more about you.

Would we make a good team?
