For 25 years Sara has worked in science engagement in science orgs (e.g. Environment Agency/ Wellcome Trust) and as a filmmaker on documentaries, drama and animation (BBC, Channel 4, Discovery).

Why Wowbagger? I was struggling to find a name for the company so thought ‘Don’t Panic’ and turned to the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy for inspiration. I approached the ‘Douglas Adams Estate’ and shared my ambitions for the company and asked if it would be possible to use any of the character names from the books. They said yes and told me their preferred name and thus ‘Wowbagger Productions’ was born.

"A man can dream can't he?" ― Wowbagger, whenever someone points out the impossibilities of fulfilling his self-appointed goal.
