  • Sabrina Mansfield | IWC List 2026

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, Pam Fryman, Gail Mancuso and Warren Hutcherson (and over a dozen others). Sabrina was recently selected for the 2024 Disability Belongs Fellowship for Writing Children’s Animation, she was a finalist for the Fred Rogers Productions Writing Fellowship and the ABC/Disney Directing Fellowship (for two years in a row!), and she is currently the Director of Events for the LA Children’s Media Association.
