Jan 23 Sophie hits the slopes!

A few weeks ago Sophie was back out on the slopes practising her other passion snowboarding! I've added two new images of her competing to our gallery! No matter whether it's snowboarding or acting, Sophie has extreme talent in both worlds.

I've also added two promotional images from Sophie's 2009 film Mammoth to the gallery. Sophie posted them on her facebook fanpage in support of her friend and co-star Michelle Williams who is predicted to be nominated for an oscar this year!

Jan 03 Mistakes Were Made Trailer

Sophie just posted the first trailer for her new short film Mistakes Were Made on her Facebook Page. The trailer is short but the film looks extremely beautiful. I think it's quite interesting how we never see Sophie's face in the trailer. This is definitely a film I'm looking forward to watching. You can view the trailer below and find a few screencaps in the Gallery.

Nov 24 New/Old Mammoth Review

Happy Thanksgiving guys! bigsmile.gif We are more than grateful for everyone that visits the site and supports Sophie's career.I have a little update for you all. I was browsing the web and came across a great review from one of my all-time favorite movies: Mammoth. I absolutely love this film and it's the main reason why I fell in love with Sophie in first place. Not to mention she's GREAT as Jackie and nailed each and every one of her scenes!

An attractive and well-executed movie exploring parents' relationship with their daughter, and cultural inequality. Sophie is very likable in her role that is much deeper than an average "sweet daughter" character. Filipino nanny Gloria is taking care of the daughter Jackie (Sophie) of the rich American Vidales family, while Gloria's own children miss her back home. Jackie's mother Ellen is a busy surgeon. Despite having a mutually loving relationship with her daughter, she sometimes feels insufficient as a mother, with Gloria doing everything. Jackie's father Leo, a successful game designer and a great father, leaves the city with his business partner. While waiting for a contract to become ready for signing, he meets a girl. He's unwilling to conduct business, seeing her as an exploited girl, but slowly befriends her. Common to all adults is that they are away from their children. Another theme is the inequality between the two cultures, which contrast is clearly presented in alternating between the locations. If you focus on the treatment of the social issues, the plot might seem a bit thin, but for me the merits of the movie far overcome the weaknesses. Told sensitively and beautifully, the story doesn't simplify anything, and doesn't preach. All acting is very good, and the characters real and likable. Direction and visual style are unusually attractive. Jackie's role, although essential, is on the small side. For most of the movie she is very adorable, a curious, smart girl who loves her nanny and her parents. Compared to many such roles, this one is very good, with enough dialogue that we learn to know and love her. Around Jackie exists the tension between her nanny and mother, but it's not visible to her. Only in the end does she face a conflict, which however is part of a greater, overall positive closure.

Nov 02 Taddy Behind the scenes & Shadows and Lies

Back again! I've added a new behind the scenes photo from Sophie's 2007 music video Taddy to the Gallery. The lady in blue with Sophie is actually her real-life mom Shelly Gibson. Go take a look!

While browsing Sophie's IMDb Page yesterday, I noticed that a new (old) project had been added to her resume. It's called shadows & Lies and stars James Franco. Sophie played an extra with her mom in one of the scenes, however I couldn't find her in the movie. I'm guessing she was just in the background of a scene and didn't make the final cut. Nice to know though right? Check back soon for more!
