Out Magazine listed her as one of the most inspirational and outstanding people of the year (2009), Filmmaker Magazine named Mabry among the “25 New Faces of Independent Film,” the Advocate magazine featured her in their list of “Top Forty Under 40”, and with over 300 nominees and only 50 selected artists, United States Artists named Mabry the James Baldwin Fellow in Media (2010). In addition to winning the Creative Promise Award of Tribeca All Access, Mabry has participated in several talent development programs including the Fox Writers Intensive, Sundance’s Screenwriters Intensive, and in a plethora of Film
