Sasie has also won numerous grants and support from the Sundance Institute, New York State Council on the Arts, Film Independent, the Sloan Foundation, and the Tribeca Film Institute for her feature script SarahN_12, which was optioned by Focus Features in 2012.Most recently, Sasie has completed a new short with *** entitled Last Song and starring Ernie Hudson.
