Mandy Baker, a longtime core member of the crew, has been working with Sam and Picture's Up for almost five years now. Her work with Picture's Up has sparked a love of film and stage directing, and she is currently pursuing a degree in Theatre at Piedmont University.

As a go-to Assistant Director, Mandy has worked on nearly every Picture’s Up project to date. Her first foray into co-directing came in the form of the music video sad disco, for which she is also credited with the concept.

Most recently, she worked as an AD on the feature film Death, Love, and Birthdays, coming in 2025!
