Sas·sy /ˈsasē/
adjective: lively, bold, full of spirit; a little bit cheeky.
Sassy Mohen's innovative, bold, confident style has emerged as a pioneer in female-driven storytelling.
Her multiple award-winning hot topic comedy satire HOW TO HACK BIRTH CONTROL, which she directed, wrote and produced has been called "Wickedly Funny and Charmingly Scathing" by IndieShorts Magazine and "Fans of Samantha Bee's or John Oliver's gifts for balancing information and entertainment will enjoy Mohen's deftness at playing in that same sandbox," by Beyond Chron.
Sassy and HOW TO HACK BIRTH CONTROL (2022) have smashed the 2022 & 2023 festival circuit with official selections at over 60 festivals, including the upcoming Nashville Film Festival, and prestigious festivals such as Geena Davis' Bentonville Film Festival, NewFilmmakers LA, and Harlem Int. Film Festival. It has won 21 awards and 9 nominations and counting, including BEST PICTURE at the Austin Comedy Film Festival; BEST DIRECTOR at the First Glance Film Festival and Astoria Int. Film Festival; BEST SERIES & BEST SERIOUS PILOT at over a dozen festivals including the Hollywood Comedy Shorts Film Festival, We Make Movies Film Festival, Imagine This Women's Film Festival, Worldwide Women's Film Festival, Laugh After Dark, and New York CineFest; FEMALE PERSPECTIVE AWARD at the Hollywood Int. Diversity Film Festival; and BEST EDITING at the Long Island Int. Film Expo and Richmond Film Network, to list a few.
In 2023, the City of West Hollywood and its Women’s Advisory Board voted unanimously to endorse the project and have set up special screening events of it for its members and the community. The project has also picked up endorsements from NARAL - Pro-choice America, SheNYC Arts & Truth be Told.
Her previous short film FEAR ACTUALLY (2020) was released to rave reviews and won 3 BEST FEMALE DIRECTOR AWARDS. FX Network tapped her to direct, write and produce for their online web channel, THIS IS AOK. She also won accolades with her rom-com web series ABOUT ABBY (2010,) TV pilot WEEDLAND (2016) and A SINGLE GIRLS SHOW (2013.) Her first independent feature film HAPPY HOLIDAYS (2007) which she began while still in film school at Chapman University was initially labeled “too ambitious,” it would go on to turn a profit, be screened in theaters across the country and pick up distribution with IndieFlix.
She recently shot several promotions for the new Disney Studio film DISENCHANTED and branded content for BARBIE, KRAFT, BUDLIGHT, HELLO KITTY’S FUNKO POP, SABIO TECHNICAL COLLEGE, and music videos for bands including Bellhouse’s DEVILS SOUND.
Sassy is currently in development for her next feature film, ON THE HOOK, a dramedy surrounding the impact of the recent overturning of Roe V. Wade on three freshman college students in Texas along with other film projects.
