Sarah Jacobson (August 25, 1971, Norwalk, Connecticut – February 13, 2004 New York City) was an independent filmmaker who wrote, produced, and filmed her own movies.
In 1989 Sarah Jacobson graduated from Edina High School located in Edina, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. Jacobson moved to San Francisco in 1991 to pursue a career as a film director. After studying with George Kuchar, Jacobson began making her first film while in her early twenties. Jacobson's two major releases were I Was a Teenage Serial Killer and Mary Jane's Not a Virgin Anymore. Both were well received at film festivals across North America such as the New York Underground Film Festival, the Chicago Underground Film Festival and Sundance. I Was a Teenage Serial Killer featured songs by Heavens to Betsy. She was listed in Spin Magazine as one of the "Top Influences on Girl Culture".
Also outspoken in their praise were film critic Roger Ebert, filmmaker Allison Anders and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth. Ed Halter, writing in the Village Voice, considered I Was A Teenage Serial Killer,"...a key film of that decade's angrily subversive underground cinema."
Sarah Jacobson was interviewed, reviewed and written about in such national publications as The New York Times, Village Voice, Spin, Bust and Film Threat among others.
