After spending formative years working at renowned international film festivals such as TIFF, Sundance and SIFF, Sonya moved to the production side of the industry. She has since produced short films, documentaries, multi-platform and television projects, including co-creating and producing the anthology Little Films About Big Moments (HBO Canada). Her director/writer debut, The Translator (TIFF 2010), has gone on to play domestic and international film festivals and was a Lunafest award recipient. A TIFF Talent Lab alumni, Sonya has worked at award-winning production companies such as Rhombus Media and Whizbang Films—where she was the director of development—before joining Hawkeye Pictures (Sleeping Giant, Mary Goes Round) in 2017, as a producer. She is currently developing a varied slate of features, television, and web content, including penning the multi-platform web series Nightcrawlers, an electronic musical.
