About me
Zada Clarke is a producer and filmmaker working across branded and editorial content, documentary films, and series. This is her first film as director. She first read Sharon’s book Pacific Lady in 2019. On the surface, it’s a glorious adventure with the shiny golden stamp of “first woman to…” a title that can often overlook the entirety of the person who holds it. The story stuck, and in 2024, Zada finally reached out to Sharon and discussed filming. Two weeks later, she and a small crew were interviewing Sharon in her tiny apartment in Portland, Oregon. Over the course of two years with many stops and starts, the film was crafted by an incredible team of filmmakers and friends. It is being shown at film festivals around the world. Zada sees it as a full-circle moment to see Emma and Ginny rebuild Sea Sharp and is excited to be a part of the journey.
