Sabrina Mansfield 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 brand is kids TV. Besides being able to write comedy, Sabrina’s voice can be described simply as: If Norman Lear wrote kids shows. Her most recent work, “Eastside Pride” showcases her focus on the working-class, POC and issues of equity and racial equality.
Sabrina has a particular love for kids TV because of her experiences as a foster/adopt mom in LA County for the past 12 years, including many young people who have been placed under “Intensive Treatment Foster Care.” Because of this, she has spent a lot of time thinking about children’s social/emotional development and how to help them recover from trauma (plus, being an ally to such incredible kids has led to a lot of hilarity as well!) As a writer/director, multicam is Sabrina’s super-passion. She was the first grad student at USC to shoot an original multicam pilot (& an episode 1) in front of a live audience and she was recently runner-up for the ABC/Disney Director’s Fellowship for General Hospital (a multicam show).
