Sophia Male is a Montreal based filmmaker, artist, and journalist. She attended Concordia University's Liberal Arts College, and she also studied film, television, electroacoustics, and painting in the Communications and Fine Arts departments.
After graduating, Sophia began her broadcasting career at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. She worked for the Vice President of English Television, assisted the writer/director Ken Finkleman on a film and a tv pilot, and served as an investigative researcher and studio director in the National Radio Newsroom.
In 2004, Sophia began freelancing for CBC radio while also working as a researcher for an investigative novel by CBC News executives. She sold her short film "Water is Falling" to CBC's Zed, had several painting exhibitions, and self financed a film shoot during the 2004 Federal Election. She also began contributing to the Montreal CKUT radio show "Ecolibrium".
In 2005, Sophia was awarded a grant from the Quebec government to complete Democracy 4 Dummies: a "how to" documentary, and founded her production company The Man Productions. She not only pushed the boundaries of guerilla filmmaking by producing a film with very little money. She also did almost everything by her self. Serving as Director, Producer, Writer, Narrator, Cinematographer and Editor, she completed "Democracy 4 Dummies" in 2007, and with the National Film Board as her distributor.
Sophia is currently writing a screenplay, creating an unlikely reality show, and producing radio journalism pieces. She is also the videographer and edits videos for the Montreal night club Time Supper Club and the international event company "Music Loves Fashion."
