• She was a columnist for the television show “Noir<br />

de monde”<br />

were a betting man, I’d place my money on the odds<br />

that predict - she’s unstoppable!<br />

• She has written 22 television scripts<br />

• She performed in the lead role of the Vagina Monologs<br />

play in Toronto in 2014, and coincidently - every show<br />

was completely sold out and has now been asked to<br />

play the role again<br />

• She established her own production company called<br />

My Destiny Productions<br />

• She wrote, directed, and produced her own web<br />

series called 13 Witches which according to my count<br />

has collectively received 2,709,659 views on YouTube<br />

alone and in all fairness: 18 of those are mine<br />

• She wrote, directed and produced a movie called<br />

‘Insanity’ which was featured at multiple film festivals<br />

around the world<br />

• Sabine also started the Open World Toronto Film<br />

Festival or OWTFF in 2015<br />

Of course there are loads of other achievements in<br />

Sabine’s career such as having web series 13 Witches<br />

mentioned in the New York Times, and of course<br />

receiving the prestigious award for “Outstanding Web<br />

Producing for a Sci-Fi Horror Series” at the LAWEB<br />

festival in LA, California to name a few. Oh, did I<br />

mention for all you fashion world fans out there that<br />

she has her own shoe blog, which I have to admit<br />

is fabulously done? Sabine considers her shoe blog<br />

more of a hobby but actually her blog is producing<br />

thousands and thousands of views each month and<br />

growing. What’s wrong with me?? I nearly forgot she<br />

also has a singing career and is selling her songs on<br />

Amazon. Quite frankly, Sabine Modestin may possibly<br />

be one of the hardest working people I have ever met.<br />

One thing is for sure, she is driven!<br />

If you consider what you’ve read so far to be amazing<br />

accomplishments, please note this author agrees<br />

with you. I’ve had the great honor of Interviewing<br />

Miss Sabine Mondestin and I have to admit she’s truly<br />

surprised me at every step of this article. She has found<br />

a way to build tremendous momentum for her career,<br />

despite the staggering odds stacked against her. If I<br />

Q: You always showed interest in theater and writing.<br />

Was there anything particular that drove you to that?<br />

A: When I was young even though I was bullied at<br />

school, I just LOVED being in front of the class. It was<br />

the only time I felt alive and happy. I was 5 years old<br />

and I was always looking forward to reading in from<br />

of the class or to do the "Show and Tell" exercise.<br />

When my mother realized it, she put me in a theater<br />

program at 6 years old. To be very honest with you I<br />

think I am just a natural performer and nothing else<br />

makes me happy ...It may seems strange but it's just<br />

the way I am.<br />

As for writing, when I was young I was not allowed to<br />

watch TV so I needed to find a way to entertain myself.<br />

I use to write stories to make me forget the fact that I<br />

was not watching TV like the other kids. Sometimes I<br />

would watch the beginning of a show and I will write<br />

the end….I was just 5 years old. Since then I never<br />

stop writing script-Partly to entertain myself and also<br />

because I have so many stories in my head.<br />
