ENTERTAINMENT
• She was a columnist for the television show “Noir
de monde”
were a betting man, I’d place my money on the odds
that predict - she’s unstoppable!
• She has written 22 television scripts
• She performed in the lead role of the Vagina Monologs
play in Toronto in 2014, and coincidently - every show
was completely sold out and has now been asked to
play the role again
• She established her own production company called
My Destiny Productions
• She wrote, directed, and produced her own web
series called 13 Witches which according to my count
has collectively received 2,709,659 views on YouTube
alone and in all fairness: 18 of those are mine
• She wrote, directed and produced a movie called
‘Insanity’ which was featured at multiple film festivals
around the world
• Sabine also started the Open World Toronto Film
Festival or OWTFF in 2015
Of course there are loads of other achievements in
Sabine’s career such as having web series 13 Witches
mentioned in the New York Times, and of course
receiving the prestigious award for “Outstanding Web
Producing for a Sci-Fi Horror Series” at the LAWEB
festival in LA, California to name a few. Oh, did I
mention for all you fashion world fans out there that
she has her own shoe blog, which I have to admit
is fabulously done? Sabine considers her shoe blog
more of a hobby but actually her blog is producing
thousands and thousands of views each month and
growing. What’s wrong with me?? I nearly forgot she
also has a singing career and is selling her songs on
Amazon. Quite frankly, Sabine Modestin may possibly
be one of the hardest working people I have ever met.
One thing is for sure, she is driven!
If you consider what you’ve read so far to be amazing
accomplishments, please note this author agrees
with you. I’ve had the great honor of Interviewing
Miss Sabine Mondestin and I have to admit she’s truly
surprised me at every step of this article. She has found
a way to build tremendous momentum for her career,
despite the staggering odds stacked against her. If I
Q: You always showed interest in theater and writing.
Was there anything particular that drove you to that?
A: When I was young even though I was bullied at
school, I just LOVED being in front of the class. It was
the only time I felt alive and happy. I was 5 years old
and I was always looking forward to reading in from
of the class or to do the "Show and Tell" exercise.
When my mother realized it, she put me in a theater
program at 6 years old. To be very honest with you I
think I am just a natural performer and nothing else
makes me happy ...It may seems strange but it's just
the way I am.
As for writing, when I was young I was not allowed to
watch TV so I needed to find a way to entertain myself.
I use to write stories to make me forget the fact that I
was not watching TV like the other kids. Sometimes I
would watch the beginning of a show and I will write
the end….I was just 5 years old. Since then I never
stop writing script-Partly to entertain myself and also
because I have so many stories in my head.
