Sofie Somoroff is going through filmmaker puberty. Her recent directing work is primarily coming to terms with her bodily functions, including a series of musicals about living in Los Angeles: MY FIRST NIGHT IN LOS ANGELES, about a girl learning self-love while crashing in her friend’s living room, and MY WORST NIGHT IN LOS ANGELES, about needing to poop while on a Hinge date; and her horror short, LOVE IS A FIRE, about an acidic yeast infection. She’s a born and bred New Yorker, based in Los Angeles, with extremely strong opinions about bagels. Her work’s been recognized by the New York State Senate, where she was honored as a Woman of Distinction. You can see more of her work at sofiesomoroff.com
