Semifinalist, Roadmap Writers Kids' Television Competition 2024
BIO
SABRINA MANSFIEL is an award-winning director, writer and line producer. She has directed commercials, music videos, multi-cam sitcoms, a reality show, over 20 shorts, and a feature. As a writer, Sabrina’s voice can be described simply as: If Norman Lear wrote kids shows - because she loves to use comedy to focus on the working class, people of color, and people like her with a disability. As a director, multi-cam is her passion. She was the first grad student at USC to shoot an original multi-cam pilot (and an episode 1) in front of a live studio audience. Because of her passion for television, she was given the opportunity to do observerships with some of TV’s most accomplished directors, like James Burrows, David Trainer, Barnet Kellman, Pam Fryman, Gail Mancuso and Warren Hutcherson (and over a dozen others). She was recently selected for the 2024 Disability Belongs Fellowship for Writing Children’s Animation, just had the final interview for the Fred Rogers Productions Writers’ Fellowship and (for the second year), made it to the final interview stage for the ABC/Disney Director’s fellowship for multi-camera television.
