The “kind” and “bubbly” young Australian actress dies suddenly

A young Australian actress and model from Western Australia died suddenly. Sariya Saibu (pictured), who starred in the award-winning 2021 short film Beautiful They, passed away on January 30. A devastated relative broke the news online, saying that the performer, from Perth, radiates both “love and light” and “I wish her ‘radiant spirit continues to shine’.” Her aunt, Cassandra Colvin, wrote: “This morning we lost our beloved Saria.” I am finding it difficult to find the words to express the grief that I and her family are feeling at this time. Beautiful RIP – all our love always.

Saibu played Violet alongside Australian actor Morgan Davies’ character, Blue, in Beautiful They, which screened at the Tribeca Film Festival and the Melbourne International Film Festival. The clip, directed by Cloudy Rhodes, is a coming-of-age LGBTQI surf romance that explores the nuances of the genders. In 2021, the work won Best Direction for a Short Film from the Directors Guild of Australia and was nominated for Best Short Drama for the Australian Film and Television Academy (AACTA). The following year, the film won the Queer Screen Mardi Gras Award 2022 winner for Best Film and Best Australian Short Film for Melbourne.

Saibu has also done modeling and appeared as a backup dancer for music videos, including San Cisco’s 2017 single SloMo and Catlips’ Silver Smoke, released in 2015. Friends flocked to the internet to praise “Kind” and “Champagne”, which they performed Build a community of friends in both Perth and Darwin. “Saria is the queen, karaoke king, superstar, and icon,” Blue Bradshaw’s friend wrote on GoFundMe. “Princess of not just Perth, but Darwin. The protagonist of our lives and the jewel of our hearts. Saria left everlasting impressions in her society, which was felt and appreciated by her family and close friends. Another friend described Saibo as a “beautiful bubbly soul” with an “amazing sense of humour.” They said: “She always had time to chat and pour all her heart into his friends and her passions. Rest in power Sereh, we will not forget you.”

The fundraiser, which will help her family cover costs for memorials in both cities, has raised $4,896 ($3,427) since it launched Wednesday. Saibu will be seen off at a party at Kidogo Art House Fremantle on February 15th and at a ceremony in Garramilla, Darwin, in March.
