She bounced back and forth with acting and PA work for a time.</p> <p>She finally started to focus on more of the behind-the-scenes work of production. This eventually led to her writing and directing a short. The short got the attention of others who wanted her to direct a feature, which ended up optioned to Netflix.

Amanda has been watching <strong>You</strong> on Netflix. Alan finished all of season one of <strong>Invincible</strong> and watched <strong>Midnight Run</strong> after the passing of Charles Grodin.
