About Me

Sophie Ottewell is an award-winning filmmaker from Birmingham who independently works on her own projects, constantly exploring new approaches to make each film distinct from the last. With extensive experience as an editor, she has crafted thousands of videos and short films for both personal projects and client work. Her preferred genre is Thriller/Horror, aiming to evoke thought and discomfort in the audience.

Sophie’s love for acting, developed over years of performing in front of live theater audiences, translates seamlessly to her on-camera presence. However, she discovered a deeper passion for the behind-the-scenes magic, particularly in post-production and directing. Skilled at communicating with actors to ensure their comfort and managing various tasks on set, Sophie continues to hone her filmmaking abilities through self-directed projects and collaboration with others.

While her future in filmmaking holds promising possibilities, Sophie’s current focus revolves around bright ideas for her upcoming films.
