For 15 years, Karen Allen (age 73), actor and director of stage and film, and Sarah T. Schwab (age 39), writer, director and producer, have enjoyed collaborating on theatre and film productions, notably addressing oft-avoided discussions about dying and loss. Their award-winning film, A Stage of Twilight—written and directed by Sarah and starring Karen—is a “grass-roots awareness campaign for end-of-life care and decisions.” It raises the difficult question: “Whose death is it—who has the right to decide when, where, how, and with whom someone dies?”
Karen’s directorial debut, the award-winning A Tree. A Rock. A Cloud., is a short film about the “passing of wisdom from an older man to a young boy.” In 2025, Karen will be directing her first feature film, The Batting Cage, with Sarah on the production team. This film depicts how two sisters reconnect after the death of their sibling. In her upcoming third feature film, Crybaby Bridge, Sarah approaches suicide through the genre of psychological thriller. Please meet Karen Allen and Sarah T. Schwab—friends and collaborators who “reach for the light” while pursuing what they love.
“Loss ties us together as human beings; we must learn to respect time and cherish loved ones.”
