Writer | Director | Producer
Sonia’s filmmaking journey began in 2002, alongside the founding of Touching Lives. Even as a young thinker, she pondered how her work could continue to touch lives long after her time on Earth, and this led her toward storytelling through both books and films.
As a child, Sonia was captivated by animation and the concept of immortality, which sparked her passion for filmmaking. She began writing for short films, eventually directing, producing, and scripting for her organization. With a strong team managing Touching Lives, she fully embraced her calling by establishing Touching Lives Films.
In 2013, Sonia started working as a story coach and scriptwriting consultant. In 2014, she assisted Brazilian filmmaker Marcos Negrao as an assistant film director and producer for an Indian film. By 2018, after completing a summer program at the Prague Film School, Sonia directed her award-winning short film, SPACE, which was released at Michael Moore's Traverse City Film Festival.
