Mandy Fabian directed The Young Hillary Diaries, Lifetime’s first digital series, and co-created the Amazon series Dropping the Soap, which won Jane Lynch an Emmy for Best Actress in a Short Form Original. She was chosen for the Sony Television Directing Program, named "Best New Filmmaker of the Year" by NewFilmmakers LA, and was chosen as one of six directors to lead an all-female crew for the 2020 Women's Weekend Film Challenge. Her first feature film, Jess Plus None, a modern day Big Chill meets Bridesmaids, was called a "laugh-out-loud comedy" by TimeOut London, so really it's all downhill from here. Mandy lives in Los Angeles with her husband Patrick, her two daughters and an intimidating array of reusable water bottles.
