Reviews for Night Owls:
"Contrasting feelings of gain and loss filter through every shot, every angle...
There is a quiet power at play here that is so rare to find, and that is a testament to the filmmaker’s ability to tell a good story."

Short film, drama. Often cited as being Sophie's favourite work to date, as writer-director she created a distinctly nostalgic, autumnal world, with production design and cinematography perfectly in sync around two powerful, award-winning central performances.
This film was the pilot for Sophie's feature 'Night Owls & Early Birds' (in development now), and it premiered at LSFF before going on to win 17 awards at film festivals around the world.
