About the Candidate

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.

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.

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.
