19-year-old Sadie Bones, one of the most gifted filmmakers in New York City making her mark on the film scene today. Sadie Bones wrote and directed her debut feature, IF THAT MOCKINGBIRD DON’T SING, after graduating from The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute; she began in the adult program at age 16 and is the youngest graduate ever at Lee Strasburg Institute.

Sadie Bones, is the daughter of actor Kevin Corrigan, renowned for his roles in films like "True Romance," "The Departed," and "Pineapple Express.” At just eight years old, she wrote and directed her first short Film, "Ellipses," showcasing her innate talent for filmmaking. 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 storytelling, style, and sense of humor are heavily influenced by her status as a member of Gen Z. She honed her passion through formal education, attending the prestigious Frank Sinatra School of the Arts and majoring in Film during her freshman and sophomore years of high school.

Sadie's commitment to diverse storytelling is evident in an 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!
