Sable Sanborn

Sable Sanborn is an event and video producer based in Durham, NC — driven by a genuine passion for the work, a deep network, and a reputation for seeing things through no matter what it takes.

The best role is second in command: perfecting the ideas of people who are too brilliant to get to the granular level that execution requires. 3 years managing The Fruit taught the value of that — every night is a production, every problem is yours to solve, and the show always goes on.

Ambitious, unconventional, the kind of projects other people are afraid to touch — that's exactly where this work gets interesting. Always for the love of the game.
