It’s hard to categorize Janina Gavankar. You’ve watched her on The L-Word and Apple TV’s award-winning series The Morning Show. Janina is a fixture in the gaming community, co-hosting reality shows and voicing video games like Star Wars: Battlefront II. Now, she adds Director to her impressive roster.
