The late Sir Alan Parker called Sabrina’s work “outstanding […] refreshingly intelligent, serious and lyrical. Much needed in tomorrow’s cinema.” Her directing work has been supported by Women in Film LA, Google, Panavision, the Mary Pickford Foundation and BAFTA North America. Her shorts have been seen on the pan-European TV network ARTE, the cable channel ShortsTV and the streaming service Fandor, as well as at dozens of international film festivals, including Edinburgh and Fantasia. She was chosen to participate in the inaugural Sony Pictures Entertainment Diverse Directors Program. As a screenwriter, she’s been a Top 50 Nicholl Semifinalist and has written for Participant Media. Sabrina is also a member of the Directors Guild of America and a voting member of BAFTA, the British Academy of Film & Television Arts.
Previously, Sabrina worked as a BBC journalist for six years, producing content for the UK’s flagship news programs. A first generation high school graduate, she got top Bachelor’s and MPhil degrees from Cambridge University, where her work was supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. She subsequently won a Fulbright Scholarship to attend the American Film Institute, where she completed her MFA in Film Directing.
Ron began his career working for TWC Films, a global commercial production company owned by Mark Thomas and studio film producer Ralph Winter (Star-Trek IV: The Voyage Home, X-Men, Planet of the Apes). Between a myriad of Coca-Cola and Domino's commercials, Ron was also producing theatre in Los Angeles, eventually developing the play Out There on Fried Meat Ridge Road which landed on the West End in London.
His experience developing Fried Meat Ridge Road brought Ron back to his first love, storytelling, and he shortly thereafter dove into the world of film and television.
Working with companies like Alcon Entertainment, Netflix, Snapchat, E-One, and Amazon, Ron has developed and produced projects from small budget independent films to streaming television series.
A few of his recent favorite experiences are: filming the opening musical number as a oner on Leos Carax’s Annette; running around Miami, FL with a uniquely built infrared & 3D camera rig for Harmony Korine’s upcoming feature The Hitman; and the twelve-episode Netflix series On the Verge starring Julie Delpy, Elisabeth Shue and Giovanni Ribisi shot during the height of the pandemic.
