Sophia_pic.jpgFilmgraphics has announced that Sophia Banks has joined its roster.

Banks always had a passion for the arts and in particular fashion, where her credits ranged from fashion designer, internationally renowned celebrity stylist, creative director and fashion editor.

Vogue Australia named her “Top Fashion Export” and Harpers Bazaar “Fashion Leader” many years in a row.

Her ultimate goal however was to be behind the camera, and while living in the US, she studied at USC, UCLA, The American Academy of Dramatic Arts before the ultimate lesson: shadowing famed German director Wim Wenders.

She has directed numerous music videos, branded content, short films and commercials.

Banks has won or been nominated for over 34 awards including Tribeca Moet Competition, London, Milano, Berlin Fashion film Festival and Oscar Qualifying Holly Shorts film Festival.

Banks epitomises the brazen forthright nature of unstoppable women everywhere and brings a sense of beauty and style to all her projects.

Says Banks: “I am so excited to be part of Filmgraphics with Anna and David, who are both such legends, and am excited for the amazing work we will create together. There is no place I am happier than behind a camera. I love being a female director and bring that perspective from behind the lens.”

Says Anna Fawcett, executive producer, Filmgraphics: “Sophia is a great addition to our roster; we have always supported female directors. But more importantly, she is a true filmmaker who understands the value of her craft, the foundations that Filmgraphics were built on.”
