I direct character-driven dark comedies. My upcoming feature Asking For It stars Stephanie Hsu (Be More Chill) and Janeane Garofalo (Wet Hot American Summer). It will enter the 2020 festival circuit. My first film Pinsky premiered at the Moscow International Film Festival, won “Best Narrative Feature” at the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival and was released in 2019 through Breaking Glass Pictures.

“Directed by Lundquist in her feature debut, “Pinsky” is brightened by colorful animations and Karpovsky’s winning performance as the spirited, sarcastic Sophia. It’s as unfocused as its heroine, roving between subplots, but there’s still plenty to admire in this frank, funny film.” Kimber Myers, LA TIMES

“In Pinksy, an impressive and lively debut from director Amanda Lundquist and writer/star Rebecca Karpovsky, we have a keyhole into Russian-American life. It’s a combustive and comical look at generational gaps, the disintegration of tradition with every new grandchild, and the difficulty in which a queer woman has to navigate familial pressures. It packs a loving whack upside the head at how our family’s ideals can mess us up.” - Meredith Alloway, Filmmaker Magazine

“Lundquist, who directed, pulls everything together, with fine pacing, some nicely conceived dream sequences and a directness that makes the little picture really work.” L. Kent Wolgamott, Journal Star
