Sadie Bones

Sadie Bones, a 21-year-old triple threat in the world of filmmaking as a screenwriter, director, and actor, brings a fresh and youthful perspective to the industry. Born in Los Angeles and raised in New York City, Sadie’s exposure to literature, theater, art, and music from an early age shaped her creative sensibilities. As the only child of actor Kevin Corrigan, renowned for his roles in films like “True Romance,” “The Departed,” and “Pineapple Express;” Sadie’s childhood was infused with the magic of cinema.

From the tender age of five, Sadie’s fascination with filmmaking blossomed when her cousin introduced her to the wonders of iMovie. Holiday gatherings became opportunities to collaborate on short films with her family, igniting her passion for storytelling. At just eight years old, she wrote and directed her first short Film, “Ellipses”, showcasing her innate talent for filmmaking.

Sadie pursued her passion through formal education, attending the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts and majoring in Film during her freshman and sophomore years of high school. Eager to enhance her skills, she graduated early and enrolled in the two-year conservatory program at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, where she took acting classes to complement her directing abilities.

At the age of seventeen, Sadie penned her first feature film, “If That Mockingbird Don’t Sing”, initially conceived as a no-budget passion project. However, private financing, fueled by confidence in Sadie’s talent and dedication, transformed it into a reality. Sadie also created the short film “The Vanishing Point”; a project that garnered acclaim, earning her accolades such as “Most Promising Filmmaker” and “Best Young Filmmaker.”

Sadie’s commitment to diverse storytelling is evident in another earlier short documentary, “Existential Hokey Pokey” which explores her best friend’s experience being adopted from China and living with cerebral palsy. Her cinematic influences include powerhouse women like Greta Gerwig, Diablo Cody, Sofia Coppola, and Adrienne Shelly, who inspired her to carve her path in the industry.
