hello! my name is sophie (they/them). i'm a wannabe goth covered in cat hair! i’m a writer, actor, producer across stage/screen! i’ve been compared to great weird men such as Yorgos Lanthimos and Mel Brooks! maybe one day I’ll be compared to….. someone…… els…e……
as a screenwriter and filmmaker, my first film
POSSUM (actor/writer/producer) streamed on SHUDDER in partnership with Access:Horror (best short). It played at 12+ festivals including Final Girls Berlin (audience award) and Slamdance where it was then invited to join the Unstoppable on the Road tour in art houses across the country. From there, I helped to create the feature film SINNER SUPPER CLUB (actor/producer/EP) an improvised gay mumblecore ghost story shot in six days on an iPhone
(World Premiere SXSW). I’m also a Screamwriting Fellowship nominee (Blumhouse/Sundance), I’m currently developing the feature film BUBBE & TAL (writer), whose proof of concept is on the festival circuit (Provincetown Film Fest) and I’m a proud film festival screener for Slamdance and Brooklyn Horror.
as a performer, most recently I starred in the short film Vanilla where I play a dog. I’ve also developed new theatrical works with The Bushwick Starr, The Public, Ars Nova, TFANA, LCT3, Williamstown,
Forestburgh Playhouse + more.
