Professional life

Mann's short film Delicacy premiered at the Austin, Telluride, and Tribeca film festivals in 2012 and 2013.[1] Another short film, The Leisure Class, premiered at the Raindance Film Festival in 2013.[1][2]

In November 2014, it was announced that Mann had won, with his short film Delicacy, Project Greenlight's season 4 contest to direct a film for HBO.[1][2] At the time, Mann was in his fourth-year at the Columbia University School of the Arts.[3] Originally the contest winner was going to direct Not A Pretty Woman, a broad comedy screenplay.[4] However, after Mann shared the script for a full-length version of a short film he had written, it was decided he would instead direct that script, The Leisure Class, a film that received universally negative reviews.[5][6]
