Sara Register's Online Resume

Hey there! I’m Sara Register…As you can tell, I’m a little unique.

You can’t put someone like me on normal white paper with rulers and heading. So welcome…to my unconventional resume. Shall we…?

I AM A WRITER.

My main goal is to ply my skills in late night comedy writing.

Either Or

Talk/Variety Sketch

Or both

But I’ve got a goal to accept both Original and Adapted Screenplay Oscars.

And go to the Golden Globes.

And write a hilarious memoir in the style of David Sedaris.

And those are just my WRITING goals!

So…why comedy?

Because I honestly believe that in all the craziness of this world, we NEED comedy to keep us going. It helps to bring light to the darkness and make sense of it all. Sometimes it even helps us deal with things that we just couldn’t otherwise.

I want tobe a candle.

And face it, I never graduated from being class clown.

Q: But, Sara, you’ve never had professional

experience. Why should we put you in

our writers’ room?

A: Because I’ve been tested in the roughest crucible known to man. For the past ten years I have had to think on my feet, present tough material to an oftentimes unwilling audience, and get along with everyone. I was the most beaten-down creature on the planet. I was…

A HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISHTEACHER

(the horror!!!!)

Reasons why teachers are great in any other profession:

• They have patience. In spades.• They are people people. That sounds weird but it can’t be people persons. I

mean I was an English teacher for crying out loud.• To get back to that last one, we can get along with anybody.• No fear of public speaking. I made my class time the “Ms. Register Hour” with

intro jokes and voices and dramatic gesticulations.• No fear of criticism. We receive that. In spades.• Educated! I’ve got three freakin’ degrees, only one of which I am paid extra for!• Communication skills on deck. I can write a memo that would make

Shakespeare shed a tear.• I can read a room. Oh man, can I read a room.

And a day of improv and sketch writing and performance with Kevin McDonald from The Kids in the Hall at Dad’s Garage in Atlanta. It. Was. Awesome.

I’ve also got three produced short films, including this one, RED, which has been accepted into the Macon Film Festival. It also has a brief cameo by my daughter.

On-camera Experience

Only one so far, as an extra in Identity Thief starring Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, and Eric Stonestreet. I was a redneck lady with a black eye and I had to dance in some hurty high heels for six hours to Mystikal’s “Shake Ya Ass”. But how can I NOT include that?

Here’s the bottom line(s):

I was meant to be doing this. Writing, making people laugh. I live for it.

I love the urgency of the live show.From what I can tell, comedians are my tribe.

I’ll do what it takes.I will work my way up.

I want to write for you.

Reach out and touch me! (in a way that doesn’t involve HR)
