Sofie is a filmmaker based in Los Angeles.
Her latest short, RIDE BABY RIDE, an action horror film about a woman who must exorcize a lecherous demon inhabiting her 1978 Camaro, is wrapping up its 25+ film festival run since finding its online home on Alter. Her other recent short, LOVE IS A FIRE, about an acidic yeast infection, was regarded for its strong performances and body horror. Film Threat described, “the terrifying ending that will quench any horny feelings you have for the next hour make Somoroff’s Love is a Fire a must viewing.”
Her prior work also focused on bodily functions, albeit through the lens of musical comedy. The first installment of her web series, MY FIRST NIGHT IN LA, is about a woman learning self love on her friend’s couch, followed by MY WORST NIGHT IN LA, about pooping on a Hinge date.
She’s a graduate of Wesleyan University, where her thesis, CUT, a period sci-fi short inspired by her grandmother’s experiences in a home for unwed mothers, received honors.
She’s a New Yorker and lover of bagels.
