Sofia Voss is a 23-year-old filmmaker and writer from rural Missouri. Despite engaging with various art forms over the years, including photography, sketching, graphic design, and painting, she has found her home with filmmaking. Greatly inspired by both the naturalistic and eccentric, Sofia navigates a world that is both stylized and true. Growing up in a small conservative and largely intolerant community has given her a new perspective from which she makes her films. It is the internal effect of this environment that is truly interesting, not the external. In 2022, Sofia graduated from the University of Missouri - Columbia, with degrees in Film Production and Art History, a 4.0 GPA, and status as an Honor Student. In addition, Sofia has worked as a film researcher, done video production for the State Historical Society of Missouri’s Art Museum, and freelances for Stacker. Now, Sofia attends Columbia University in New York for an MFA in Screenwriting/Directing where she also works as a Video Content Producer for the International Students and Scholars Office.
