Her short film Baby Steps funded by Screen Ireland had its premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh. There it won the Best New Short Drama Award.

“Boasting a boldness few would commit to and a standard even fewer can meet. Absurdist, boundary pushing and with masterful impressions, Mamalis’s ideas are fierce, courageous and paying off handsomely if her future screen credits are anything to go by.”
