Sarah-Emmanuelle Ruest merges her strengths as a creative producer, experiential events curator, and cultural connector to help establish supportive spaces for emerging artists to connect, grow and explore their unique intentions and individualities. Based in Toronto, she is dedicated to impactful storytelling, and considers the act of organizing, planning, collaborating, and bringing ideas to life as part of her artistic practice.

Beyond film & TV production, Sarah has served as the Programming Curator for the 2024 Pride Toronto Festival and has orchestrated a wide range of events, from album release parties and mindful art workshops, to large-scale gallery exhibitions and corporate anniversary celebrations. Her experience extends to consulting on successful digital campaigns and educational series for brands such as Urban Outfitters, Converse, Feeld, and Erika Lust.

With a focus on queer representation and a commitment to the artist and the process, Sarah strives towards work created outside of traditional structures, accessible working models, and community engagement immersed into the production process.

Sarah holds a Bachelor of Commerce with a concentration in Marketing Management from the University of Guelph, as well as a certificate in International Business from the Lucerne University of Applied Arts and Science. She has also earned certificates in Love as a Force for Social Justice and International Women’s Health and Human Rights from Stanford University.
