About Us

frames per second films is sarah naomi campbell

One day, inspired by her search for films with a certain spry spirit, she decided to create her own.

With a craigslist camera in hand and a super 8 filmmaking workshop under her belt, she began shooting. Her first film, the Search, was an 8 minute film conceptualized and shot in the course of a single day. It featured a cast of three and a crew of two and a half...As she hadn't yet discovered the world of non-linear editing, the film was hand-edited and spliced frame by frame.

the Search went on to screen in several film festivals, including Curve Magazine's Cinema Close-Up, Seattle's LGFF and Portland's LGFF. A filmmaker was born, and she hasn't been able to slake the thirst yet. Her second film, the Little Knave, is currently in the film festival submission phase. Look for it at local film festivals in your neighborhood soon.
