Growing up as a severely hard-of-hearing and racially mixed child, Sarah Nicole Faucher gained invaluable insights into the human condition as she lip-read her parents’ conversations who were involved with Canadian Military Intelligence during the Cold War. As a result, she escaped in stories by Lloyd Alexander, Ursula K. LeGuin, Guy Gavriel Kay, Taliesin (The Mabinogian), and others. During her years at Carleton University, she studied Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Franz Kafka, Carl Jung, and more towards her BA in English & Religious Studies.
Sarah Nicole Faucher is a disability activist, poet, short fiction writer (under the name Nicole Matthews), and screenwriter of award-winning short films. Mentored by screenwriters Mario Moreno of Scriptmag, and Michael Giampa, teacher at Camosun College, Pacific Design Academy, and University of Victoria, Canada, Sarah Nicole Faucher has conscientiously continued on this screenwriting path. She hosts Cold Reads in her own home to encourage local fellow screenwriters in their own creativity and for feedback. She is also a judge of a local film festival.
Her short award-winning script 'Going Home' was filmed in 2021 and finally released on the Film Festival circuit in 2024. She was interviewed immediately after winning the CineSpark 2021 for 'Going Home'. http://www.informediation.com/blog/2021/05/26/cinespark-2021-winner-revealed/ This short film was an Official Selection for screening at the SOHO International Film Festival, one of the top film festivals in New York City, and it was the only Canadian short narrative film in the category. 'Going Home' was shown in the same category alongside a short film written by John Patrick Shanley, Oscar-winning writer of 'Moonstruck' and 'Alive', and another short film starring Molly Ringwald.
