Sophia Vassilakidis (Producer)

Sophia Vassilakidis received copious aesthetic training and spent way too much time around darkroom chemicals before graduating from Houston's High School for Performing and Visual Arts in 1997 with a Fine Arts certification. She earned her B.A. in Radio-TV-Film from the University of Texas at Austin's School of Communications in 2001. During her time at UT, Ms. Vassilakidis produced several short films, including Fish Out of Water, which screened at the Copenhagen Film Festival. Since 2001, she has worked on several independent features in the Houston and Austin areas. Her recently completed first feature script "Rose Marie's Egg", won 1st Place in the 2009 DarkHart ScreenPlay competition. She is currently hiding out from the real world at VanArts animation school in the paradise that is Vancouver, BC. In addition to being an endless font of artistic creativity, Ms. Vassilakidis is also a miser to rival Ebenezer, and fully intends to keep any project she produces as close to budget as possible.
