For her work illuminating race and mental illness on film, Day was additionally profiled for NBCUniversal News Group’s Inspiring America series. Definition Please is an available sales title.
She is also a Sundance Fellow, Sundance Film Festival Influencer, and HBO Visionaries Ambassador.
Day continues to be repped by attorneys Bob Myman and Jennifer Grega at Myman Greenspan.
