"The most lonely thing about being human is that each person only lives in their own body and mind. I aspire to bridge that boundary by creating documentaries that open conversations."
- Sophie van Bree
Hi there!
My name is Sophie van Bree (1995), and I live between Utrecht (the Netherlands) and Edinburgh (Scotland). Beyond my passion for work, I live for storytelling in every form. I love making music, dancing, writing, photography, travelling, and being in nature. I have turned my passion for storytelling and my curiosity into my work.
Fascinated by the contradiction between people’s inner and outer worlds, I capture complex, mental health-related, and vulnerable subjects in an empowering, intimate, and profound way. As an international documentary filmmaker (researcher, writer, director, editor), I connect deeply with people from all walks of life. With a strong sense for creative storytelling and collaboration, a background in directing, and an energetic personality, I create visually powerful, content-rich films and other media to open conversations and bring people together.
