Her first film, Painting with Light in a Dark World, about underbelly street photographer Peter Darren Moyle, which collected various accolades, was the beginning of an exploration of beauty in darkness which has preoccupied Sascha throughout her artistic career. Her following films The Oasis, a longitudinal study of an inner-city youth refuge, Playing in the Shadows, about an after-dark basketball tournament for kids from a notorious housing estate in Woolloomooloo, and Destination Arnold, following two female Aboriginal bodybuilders, have continued the same theme.

Sascha’s documentary The Pink House, about the last original brothel in Kalgoorlie won best documentary at the 2017 Sydney Film Festival. Life After The Oasis and her more recent look at child protection,The Department, are the culmination of many years observation and interest in young people experiencing social inequality and the systems around them.
