Valley Broadcast Network’s goal is to highlight and feature independent filmmakers, especially those who have participated in a Montana Film Festival anywhere in the state.
One such filmmaker is a writer, producer, and actress and she put all of those talents on display with the release of her first Independent Film, Leaving Michiana, which will be featured in the upcoming VBN Spring Lineup. Sofia is also the first artist to be featured in the new “Artist Insight” portion of the Valley Broadcast Network program lineup. To learn a little bit about Sofia, check out her awesome Bio below!
Sofia Lynch was born and raised in Metro Detroit, Michigan — brought up on comedy movies, Greek heritage, and Motown music. While attending the University of Michigan, Sofia discovered a deep passion for being anywhere near the creative process — writing, producing, acting, and finally, directing. In her senior year, Sofia was selected to direct a 30-minute comedy for the Senior Capstone class, the product of which debuted at the Traverse City Film Festival. Following her success in college, Sofia moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams of working in the industry and snagged a job as a Writer’s PA for a Netflix show. In the job search after that show, Sofia reconnected with her true passion of acting and has been pursuing on screen and on stage opportunities ever since. Sofia recently released her first independent short, “Leaving Michiana,” which she wrote, produced, directed, and starred in, and has had some festival success already.
