Sabrina's feature directing debut, Lorelei, starring Pablo Schreiber and Jena Malone, was an Official Selection of the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival. It won the Jury Prize at the 2020 Deauville American Film Festival and the Jordan Ressler First Feature Award at the 2021 Miami Film Festival. The film was released in select US theaters and sold to Hulu in the US and Sky Cinema in the UK. The late Sir Alan Parker called Sabrina’s work "outstanding [...] refreshingly intelligent, serious and lyrical. Much needed in tomorrow's cinema." Sabrina’s most recent film, the fantasy short Go for Grandma, stars Justine Lupe and Amy Madigan. It premiered at AFI FEST 2023. Her directing work has been supported by Women in Film LA, Google, Panavision, the Mary Pickford Foundation and BAFTA North America.
