Sassy Mohen - WRITER/DIRECTOR
PRODUCER/EDITOR
Sassy began her directing career as just a junior in film school at Chapman University and a drive to make an independent feature film. The film was initially labeled "too ambitious," but by December 2007, it was completed, turning a profit and screening in indie theaters around the country, largely due to her cultivating a hype with the emerging entity, "social media." From there, Sassy continued to jump at the release of innovative film equipment as it unfolded. The Red Camera, digital SLR, and most recently, 4k. She was the first filmmaker to create a narrative short with audio on Google Glass, and quick to adopt the web series as a dynamic and affordable medium, despite its initial stronghold as a male dominate arena. Her resourceful and confident style has emerged as a pioneer in the genre of female-driven comedy online.
For Sassy it's about what's next in technology paired with showcasing quality entertainment in the most effective and accessible means for its audience. Since 2006, Sassy has directed two FEATURES, multiple award winning SHORT FILMS, COMMERCIALS, MUSIC VIDEOS, SPECS and WEBSERIES.
