Sarah is one of those wonderful people you stumble across online. Even though we live in the same city, and run in similar crowds we’ve yet to meet. So while we haven’t, I can already tell Sarah is someone who just gets it. Her passion for the “craft” shows through in the work she does and other social activity.
She even agreed to take a few questions for the first ever lalawag profile. I’ll be doing this for folks in the LA area and elsewhere, please drop me a line if interested.

5 Questions with Sarah Atwood
1. Sarah, like many in Los Angeles you came from elsewhere. What brought you here?
I moved to LA in 2001 promptly after graduating from college to pursue an acting career. I started doing local theatre at 5 years old, majored in acting at Florida State University and knew that I had to come to Hollywood to be a part of the entertainment industry.
2. What’s your favorite thing about LA so far?
My favorite thing about LA is everything! I immediately fell in love with LA as soon as I arrived. The weather is perfect, the scenery is beautiful and I’ve met some of the most creative people here. The vibe in LA is very fitting for me.
3. You took part in the 40+ day Mahalo Idol contest, do you think that was long enough or should they have run a few more weeks?
I actually feel the Mahalo Vlog Idol was just the right amount of time. It was long enough to really see who would be the best fit for Mahalo Daily.
4. Recently you were working with the Epic Fu crew but thanks to the recent economy issues and general VC nervousness, they’ve had to reduce the staff. What’s the deal with Rev3, total jerks or what?
EPIC FU was a very short but fabulous experience for me. Steve, Zadi & Rick are great producers and I hope to work with them again. The staff reduction wasn’t really anybody’s fault. I don’t know all the details of what’s going on at Rev3 but I do know that brands are fearful of this economy and don’t want to risk spending money. Therefore Revision3 isn’t getting the money they need to pay their shows. Unfortunately, layoffs are happening all over this country. I’m just one of many unemployed right now.
5. Tell us what’s next?
I’m actually not sure what is next for me. I’m at an interesting crossroad in my life. I am open to and excited about a variety of possibilities since I love being in front and behind the camera. I am actively looking for a show to work with and developing my own ideas. At this very moment, I’m trying to figure out how to use this fancy schmancy N96 that Nokia was kind enough to send me.
That sounds like a plug to me! Good job, Nokia I’m telling you hire this girl!
Thanks for chatting with us.
