Since then she wrote, directed, and produced commercials, music videos, and over a dozen films including the multiple-award-winning VARIABLES, the Warner Bros./USC feature period drama VOODOO MACBETH, and OSCAR®-qualified short SEVAP/MITZVAH, for which she won the 2023 HUMANITAS Prize.  She also assisted writer/director Max Mayer on his feature drama ADAM, starring Hugh Dancy and Rose Byrne (2009 Sundance), and shadowed directors on MADAM SECRETARY (CBS) and 9-1-1 (FOX).  Sabina received numerous awards for her work, including the DGA SFA Grand Prize, Alfred P. Sloan Grant, Claims Conference Grant, and nominations for the Student OSCARS and Student BAFTA.  She’s a member of Film Fatales and BAFTA, and an alumna of Ryan Murphy’s Half Directing Mentorship, Hayama Residency, Stowe Story Labs, and Almanack Screenwriters.
