BA CONFIDENTIAL
Hi, I’m Sarah Siegel-Magness—an entrepreneur, film producer, director, and polo enthusiast.
I began my career in the music industry, before moving into film, where I produced Precious, a film nominated for six Oscars and won two. That experience ignited my passion for telling impactful stories, and I later directed Longtime Gone to explore filmmaking further.
Beyond my work, I love playing polo and championing women in the sport. Through polo, I discovered Argentina, and fell in love with the country and its people—this connection inspired the creation of BA Confidential, and I hope you enjoy it!
Join me as I explore the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires, a city I adore.
My passion for polo has led me to discover Argentina's rich culture and creativity.
This season, I’ll showcase Buenos Aires's incredible talent by interviewing artists, innovators, and visionaries in their own domains.
Stay tuned for unforgettable conversations and insights.
Let’s dive into the essence of Buenos Aires together! 🇦🇷
