“Directed by Lundquist... there’s plenty to admire in this frank, funny film.”
Amanda Lundquist is a feature film director whose work has screened at over 15 festivals worldwide. Her second feature, ASKING FOR IT, stars Stephanie Hsu (EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE) and Janeane Garofalo (WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER). The film premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival and was acquired by the Fuse Television Network. Her first film PINSKY won “Best Narrative” at the Santa Fe International Film Festival, was distributed by Breaking Glass Pictures, and features Sam Jay (SNL, PAUSE). Both features are currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
Amanda was a semi-finalist in this year’s Shondaland Women Directing Initiative with SeriesFest, as well as a finalist in Starz's Take the Lead Program. She has served as a juror for the Santa Fe International Film Festival's Narrative Feature Competition since 2021. Amanda lives in Brooklyn, is a member of Film Fatales and a co-creator of The Film Fatales Podcast, which features in-depth conversations between directors of all marginalized genders. She is committed to gender and racial parity in the film industry and believes that self-representation and consent-based collaboration is the future of the independent film community.
“Lively, combustive and comical.”
