Sarah Congress-Playwright/Screenwriter

Script doctor at nabisar films US

With a sharp command of structure and a fearless approach to voice, Sarah Congress has built a reputation as a versatile force in both theater and film. As a playwright, screenwriter, and script doctor, she brings over a decade of experience shaping scripts that resonate, whether comedic, dramatic, or genre-defying.

Sarah’s plays have been produced across the country, from award-winning shorts like Cassie and Overdose to her full-length satire Big Yikes! and anthology-published horror microplay, Teenage Wedding. Her theatrical work is known for its emotionally intelligent humor, timely social commentary, and pitch-perfect dialogue.

In film, Sarah has co-written screenplays that have earned accolades at respected festivals, including the Jersey Shore Film Festival and the APin3 Film Contest, as well as screenings at Smodcastle Cinemas. Her sharp comic sensibility and strong structural instincts make her an invaluable contributor to every stage of the writing process — from concept to final punch-up.

As a Script Doctor, Sarah is deeply intuitive and technically precise. Her background as a writing coach and educator allows her to diagnose a script’s weaknesses while elevating its core, helping writers unlock clarity, deepen character arcs, and sharpen emotional stakes. She’s taught memoir, playwriting, and TV pilot development at institutions like the Hudson Valley Writers Center, and her editorial guidance has helped dozens of creatives find their narrative voice.

Now joining Nabisar Films US, Sarah brings her signature wit, clarity, and dramaturgical rigor to a growing slate of narrative and documentary projects. With an eye for what’s missing and a gift for what’s possible, she’s helping shape stories that don’t just entertain — they endure.
