Everyone has interests whether they are big or small, and one major interest of Sofia Sondervan’s is film. She has always been excited by the film industry – so much that, as a student, she studied film and graduated New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Film and Television. After graduating from film in New York, she decided to stay, and work, in NY. The blusterous city offered many opportunities in her chosen career field.
Sofia Sondervan really likes producing films. She is also motivated to show the success that women can achieve in the film industry. In fact, Sofia Sondervan is an example of this type of success – she is a member of the Producer’s Guild but also services on other professional committees. Additionally, Sofia Sondervan coaches students who pursue filmmaking and film studies. She teaches a graduate film directing and producing course at the School of Visual Arts in New York and sometimes guest lectures at NYU. She is passionate about education, and it’s essential to her that she works with others who share her passions.
Sofia Sondervan has no regrets about the career path she has chosen. She really enjoys and believes in what she does, and she is proud of the work so far. Her most recent theatrical release is Famke Janssen’s Bringing Up Bobby, starring Milla Jovovich, Marcia Cross and Bill Pullman. As a producer, Sofia Sondervan shoulders a lot of responsibility. Each movie presents a different learning curve and different challenges to be overcome.
Sofia Sondervan has produced a number of films. She has worked for a number of well-recognized companies such as Miramax Films and ContentFilm. Climbing up from an acquisition position into production (and eventually producing) was a real challenge. It is very gratifying once you get to say “I produced this” says Sofia Sondervan.
