THE FIGHTER
TINA MABRY
“By publicly exposing my past hurdles, I am reminded that I am far from alone in my adversities,” Mabry says of mining her childhood in the Deep South to bring her film Mississippi Damned to the big screen. The writer and director’s soul searching served her well: This year she earned the Grand Jury Award for Outstanding U.S. Dramatic Feature at Outfest and the Audience Award for Narrative Feature Film at Newfest.
