Projects underway

She writes the script herself. The former host of TV Azteca would leave total production in the hands of another person. Sofía studied production, direction and acting at the New York Film Academy and founded her own company.

With her he made the short film The Night, inspired by the tragic loss of his friend Cheslie Kryst, former Miss USA. This work, released in 2024, earned her the award for Best Producer at the LA Independent Women Film Award that year.

Now he is looking to turn that short into a feature film. The woman from Guadalajara is looking for financing and dreams of having a director lead the project. To do this, he attended Iberseries in Madrid and the Platinum Awards, where he forged alliances.

“It is now what I am giving priority to. The short film gave me a lot of visibility about what I want to tell. I hope to soon be able to give more news,” he comments.

He also acts

In parallel, Sofía is still active as an actress. She participated in the series Velvet and premiered the feature film Woman from Another Time on Canela TV, her first leading role in film, alongside the Argentine Rodrigo Guirao.

“She is a woman from 1965 who has to make an important decision. She meets an alushe who gives her a path in life and that transforms her,” she explained to EL UNIVERSAL.

The snub that ended in an invitation

Now, the story took a turn. After Norway’s elimination from the World Cup, Haaland reacted to the video of the program on social media and wrote: “I accept the invitation. A little late. Just tell me the place.”

The Manchester City forward confessed before that he did not know who the Spider-Man interpreter was. That’s why he ignored the message. Holland, for his part, has called him “incredible” and “absolute legend.”

So far, the actor has not responded publicly. But the exchange generated expectations among both of their followers. The meeting could finally take place.
