Sarah Wilson is a photographer, cinematographer, film producer and co-founder of Austin-based production company, Go-Valley. Focusing on the intersection of community and culture, she balances documentary films and editorial photography assignments with personal and public art projects. Her work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Time, The Atlantic, Mother Jones, and other publications including Texas Monthly, where she’s featured on the masthead. Her photographs are in the permanent collections of the Harry Ransom Center, the Wittliff Collection, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. In 2016 Wilson worked as a cinematographer and executive producer on the shortlisted, animated documentary, TOWER, winner of the Emmy for Best Historical Documentary, and the Critics’ Choice Award for Most Innovative Documentary. In 2022, Go-Valley released DEAR MR. BRODY, which Sarah Wilson both lensed and served as a producer. 

In her current series, Wilson explores her grandfather’s life’s work as a paleontologist, inspiring her own search for fossils and existential perspective in the West Texas desert. This shared connection ignited an adventure and a long-term project, featured in the pages of her first book, DIG: Notes on Field and Family, now in its third printing, and the upcoming documentary feature film, DEEP TIME.
