Sophie Carl is a British actress, producer, and writer.

She has shared the screen with A-list icons like Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Tom Hardy, and Marion Cotillard, absorbing a wisdom that only comes from witnessing masters at work.

This rare vantage point has shaped Sophie's distinctive voice, uncompromising, deeply empathetic, and tuned to the pulse of the moment.

With more than 10 feature films to her name, Sophie recently made a commanding leap behind the camera, completing her debut as a solo producer with A Requiem For Desire.

The film's impact was immediate.

Praised by The Observer and spotlighted in a wave of national press, Sophie's work drew recognition from major newspapers and magazines across the UK, and is now available on Apple TV.

Her magnetic presence has been celebrated on the festival circuit, most recently earning her the Best Acting Duo award at the Swedish Film Festival, alongside BAFTA winner Adam Deacon.

Her ambition and willingness to break new ground led her to the Middle East, where she starred as the lead female in the first-ever period TV drama greenlit in Iraq.

Sophie is also currently working on making her own music as well as a novel.
