Sophie is a British American film director and documentary cinematographer who has produced and shot films in the Antarctic, at the North Pole and in the Himalayas. Her documentary films include "77 Below", shot on the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctiva and featuring artist Lita Albuquerque and her ephemeral art installation "Stellar Axis". The award winning "Talking to the Air: The Horses of the Last Forbidden Kingdom" was shot on the border with Tibet in the high Himalaya. Her debut narrative feature film "Dogstar", was a tragic love story between an otherworldly recluse and a misfit junkie. The film was billed as a rustic Colorado update of O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi and critics described it as "pleasingly sensuous" and a "well-crafted, winsome fairy tale". Sophie also co-directed and lensed the upcoming documentary "Daughters of the Curved Moon" shot in remote villages in West Nepal and has also shot another upcoming doc directed by Stephen Fisher, entitled "Elders Speak" on the Paiute Shoshone in the Owen's Valley. Sophie is currently shooting another documentary on the maverick and youthful horsemen of Kyrgyzstan and working on a story about The Camarillo family of California and the legacy of their rare White Horses.
