Meet our
Sarah Beim
world creator, co-writer, editor
Hi! My name is Sarah ( @sarahbeimedits ).
I am the writer of "cataclysm.begin". As a queer Jewish filmmaker, I understands how it feels to be misrepresented in media and want to change that.I have always been fascinated by dreams, sci-fi, and dystopian. These genres inspired me to create my own unique worlds. A lot of my works are inspired by real-world issues but with a twist, as a way to escape but still shed light on issues that need to be addressed. have loved storytelling ever since I was little. Creating something from nothing is exciting and freeing.
