As fate would have it, Sabrina’s Navajo mom and Bengali dad found love in a Tulsa club, and the rest is (her)story. She is both Indigenous to this land and the first-generation daughter of an immigrant dad.

Sabrina is a Navajo/Bengali filmmaker who blends puns and culture like the perfect recipe.

Sabrina is making her directorial debut with the upcoming short film LEGEND OF FRY-ROTI: RISE OF THE DOUGH. In this quirky comedy, a biracial niece must avert an identity crisis when her Navajo and Bengali aunties clash in a high-stakes bread competition that threatens to derail her 25th birthday party—forcing her to discover the true meaning of dough-mestic harmony. In support of her film, Sabrina has been awarded the VISION MAKER MEDIA CREATIVE SHORTS FELLOWSHIP, the GEORGIA FILM IMPACT GRANT, and the FIRST PEOPLES FUND FELLOWSHIP.

She was a 2022 NATIVE AMERICAN MEDIA TV WRITER’S LAB fellow with LA SKINSFEST, a 2023 IMAGINENATIVE SCREENWRITING FEATURE LAB fellow sponsored by NETFLIX, and a graduate of the inaugural NYU TISCH DIRECTING INTENSIVE FOR INDIGENOUS VOICES in August 2024.

Sabrina earned her Master of Fine Arts in Screenwriting from the INSTITUTE OF AMERICAN INDIAN ARTS in May 2023. Along the way, she has been recognized with scholarships from WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY, the AMERICAN INDIAN CIRCLE FELLOW, and the NAVAJO NATION.

She previously served as a faculty teacher for the Emerging Diné Writers' Institute at Navajo Technical University, where she taught Screenwriting classes.

Her recent acting credits include BARRY, MARVEL'S ECHO, SINGLE DRUNK FEMALE, STATION 19, PANHANDLE, and ECHOES. She played the lead in the theater production Diné Nishłį (I am a Sacred Being) or A Boarding School Play. Her voiceover work is featured in the PlayStation video game, THE FOGLANDS.
