His first project, Indignation, written and directed by James Schamus, is based on Philipp Roth’s best-selling novel and set in the 1950s.
Marcus (Logan Lerman), a young Jewish student from working-class New Jersey, goes to study at a small university in Ohio, where he encounters sexual repression and anti-Semitism during the Korean War. Sarah plays Olivia Hutton, a young, beautiful and fierce comrade
to Marcus: a middle-class Midwestern beauty who fights ideology and the power of convention.
“I had a wonderful time on the set of the film, which takes place in the summer in New York. I’ve long admired James Schamus’ work as a writer and director, and working with him was very stimulating. At this stage in my life as an actress, I’m looking for meaningful experiences to enhance my creativity, learn and progress. Olivia Hutton is a lot like Sylvia Path: she was a very intelligent woman, almost ahead of her time. She never really managed to find her place in this society and therefore to be completely herself.”
Sarah will attend the Berlin Film Festival on February 14, 2016 for the International Premiere of “Indignation”.
Her second major project this year is the TV show 11/22/63, based on Stephen King’s bestsellers. In it, Sarah shines alongside James Franco, winner of the jaeger-LeCoultre Glory to the Filmmaker Award in 2014 at the Venice Film Festival.

The show, which debuts in the U.S. on February 15, 2016, features the Kennedy assassination at the heart of a love story.
Sarah plays Sadie Dunhill, a librarian in the 60s who falls in love with James Franco’s character Jake Epping, changing the course of the story.
