Saran has been recognized in publications, and earned numerous awards, grants and cash prizes for her work as a producer and short form Filmmaker.  In 2013, Saran received her first award for producing ‘WHAT WOULD she DO?’ Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Access Channel awarded Saran for Best Informational/Educational Field Program.  In 2015, she won again for the Best Informational/Educational Program.  Saran is passionate about helping people make informed decisions. With each show Saran’s goal is for her viewers to walk away with more information than they had prior to watching the show; and perhaps an understanding of a perspective unlike their own.

In 2012, when Saran came up with the idea for ‘WHAT WOULD she DO?” the intent of the show was to inspire people to love themselves past the pain of failed relationships.  While the intention to inspire and encourage remains, Saran would also like to lead her audience down a path of enlightenment.  Through this show Saran presents her audience with options through the sharing of different life experiences and information to help bring people to a place of mutual respect and understanding.

Saran holds a BA in Communications and is certified in Digital Film and Video Production.  Saran is currently enrolled in the NYU Tisch School of the Arts, certificate program in Film & TV Industry Essentials (2021).
