Sophia Ellis

Sophia is an actress with a versatile yet consistent talent. Born in England to a Spanish mother and British father, she speaks Spanish fluently and has striking Mediterranean features mixed seamlessly with soft English colouring. Sophia was brought up in an international environment predominantly in Aberdeen, Scotland, and as such has flair for accents and an eye for cultural details. She started acting at a young age when she landed her first role as the lead in a stage production of Annie. Since that first role, she has appeared in numerous musicals and plays with various fringe and theater groups and has successfully crossed media into film and television. Her experience coupled with her professional attitude, as well as her ability to adhere to direction while still bringing her own qualities to the characters she gives life and animation to, has gained her a reputation as a reliable and dedicated actress with the ability to produce outstanding results. The Zombie Diaries in which she played Anna Mckenzie was picked up by The Weinstein Company for US release, under Dimension Extreme. The film debuted at number 4 on the official Virgin UK chart and landed no 1 in the DVD charts in many European countries, including Belgium, Luxembourg and The Netherlands. Due to its popularity, it can be seen regularly on The Horror Channel's schedule. The sequel is now complete and prequel in which she will reprise her role is in pre-production. Recently Sophia has been cast as the lead in 2 upcoming projects, a new thriller 'LILLY' and 'DUST', both of which are currently in pre-production.
