Sarah Teale
Sarah Teale is a British-American documentary film producer and director, known for her Emmy nominated HBO documentaries Hacking Democracy, Dealing Dogs, The Weight of the Nation and Kill Chain: The Cyber War on America’s Elections.
Teale grew up in rural England, the daughter Mike Teale, an English country veterinary surgeon, and Christina Sawtelle Teale, an American classical concert and festival producer. Teale attended St. Hilda's College at the University of Oxford where she received her degree in English in 1983.
Teale began her career working for WGBH, Boston in local news and documentaries and then for WNET, New York on the financial series Adam Smith's Money World. She was an associate producer and researcher on the joint Channel 4 and PBS docuseries Art of the Western World. In 1988 she formed her own company, Teale Productions Inc., to set up shoots for British filmmakers, including the BBC, Channel 4 and ITV, and to book celebrities for British talks shows, including Wogan, Jonathan Ross, and Michael Aspell.
In 1992, Teale produced Horst P Horst: Sixty Years and Still in Vogue, an episode for BBC's Ominbus series about iconic Vogue photographer Horst P. Horst.
In 1996, she was co-producer on Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Case for Reasonable Doubt? for HBO with producer/director John Edginton. The documentary won a CableACE Award. In 1997, Teale produced Sam Shepard: Stalking Himself with director Oren Jacoby as part of the PBS Great Performances series and BBC Omnibus.
In 2000, Teale partnered with Sian Edwards to form Teale-Edwards Productions. The company became known for its documentaries as well as lifestyle programming including Everyday Italian.
In the early 2000s, Teale produced two films for HBO's America Undercover series. Along with director Maryann DeLeo, Teale filmed almost every day for a year inside the locked psychiatric ward of Bellevue Hospital to produce Bellevue: Inside/Out (2001), and in 2006, she produced/directed Dealing Dogs with producer/director Tom Simon. Dealing Dogs followed an undercover operative for Last Chance for Animals known only as 'Pete' as he infiltrated and recorded the abuse at a Class B kennel in Arkansas. The film was nominated for two Emmy awards and won a Genesis Award for Outstanding Cable Documentary.
Teale was an executive producer on HBO Films' Emmy nominated documentary Hacking Democracy in 2006. The film follows Bev Harris as she investigates the gaps in security of America's electronic voting systems. In one scene in the film, hacker and cyber-security expert Harri Hursti demonstrated a vulnerability in Diebold Election Systems voting machines by hacking the system using one of the system's memory cards, changing all the votes in a "mini-election" held by an election supervisor in Leon County, Florida. The hack was virtually undetectable.
