Moon House | A Letter from Sarah

I'm so glad you’re here. If you’re new to this newsletter, I’m Sarah Carter — actor, director, musician, writer, and producer. You can think of me as a narrative alchemist devoted to transforming life into art, and story into healing.

I am CEO of Cheshire Moon Productions (CMP), where imagination takes form. For over two decades, CMP has been the home for my creative work. Today, it has grown into an incubator for independent artists—empowering bold visions, building confidence beyond industry standards, and bridging the gap between personal magic and professional success. With a parallel career as a working actor, I’ve learned to navigate the edge where structure meets soul. I’m proud to support a constellation of artists whose work awakens, transforms, and expands what’s possible.

I’m also a co-founder and curator of Petits Salons, intimate Monday-night gatherings on the rooftop of Hollywood’s Petit Ermitage Hotel, where music, film, and conversation open doors to connection and continued success for independent artists.

Whether you’ve just arrived or you’ve traveled with me for years, thank you. I’m honored to share this corner of the world with you at a time when community support, creativity, freedom, truth, beauty, and togetherness feel more vital than ever.

This newsletter is meant to be a comfort and a spark; a space that holds ideas, opportunities, and stories that invite curiosity, reflection, and creative action. Whether I’m taking you along the festival circuit, sharing our wild nights at Petits Salons, or highlighting our various events; premieres, book launches, sharing circles, and music gatherings, my hope is that as we share these pivotal moments (and their challenges), we feel more connected to what’s possible for ourselves and to what we can co-create together from right where we are with, being who we are, with the abundance right at our finger tips.

A Shifting Lens

Life is expanding, and my perspective with it. I’m learning this journey is less about being fully seen and more about how I see; less about being understood and more about listening to the quiet guidance of intuition and trusting where it leads. The more I follow the thread of my creative vision, the more I notice the subtle ties between us: the small gestures, sparks of insight, and possibilities unfolding in each moment.

I’m practicing how to hold the truth of another while honoring the dignity of my own felt experience, staying with the tension between self and other long enough for it to become a portal to presence, belonging, and creative contribution.

As Proust reminds us, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” Walk with me. Let’s explore, create, and imagine — together.

Welcome to Moon House.

If you know me, you know I’ve always treated life as a living canvas, where art, family, and everyday moments meet. This home — my home, and the spiritual sibling of my production house — is another place where story and connection unfold. It’s where beauty and purpose can coexist; where every choice, from the smallest detail to the largest vision, reflects how we live, love, and belong.

Episode 1 Sarah Carter

This is not a typical renovation; it’s a reclamation:

of myself, within my family
of beauty, within chaos
of creativity, within responsibility
of a space that reflects how we truly live and love

As I invite you into the process and introduce the people involved, I hope it inspires a courageous leap in your own life to prioritize beauty and conscious living. In today’s world, peace of mind and a sacred space can be an act of rebellion.

Meet my dear friend Amber Lestrange of Lestrange Living. One of Los Angeles’ most intuitive and artful interior designers, Amber has been my champion and guiding light throughout this marathon renovation journey, which has stretched over a year. Beyond teaching me the subtle language of color, texture, and energetic flow, she’s lifted my spirits through the inevitable growing pains of tearing down walls—both physical and internal.

Meet Amber on Moon House: Episode 3 Pt 1 Lestrange Living

I waited five years for this house to tell me what it wanted to become. Now, tile by tile, layer by layer, a vision is taking form. It may be the most direct experience I’ve had of my creative process in motion, and I’m as terrified as I am exhilarated to share it. I believe that in the pursuit of beauty we are met by magic and miracles. If we build with love, whatever comes, love is what lasts.
