Hi, I’m Shira Jett Sofko. I’m currently pursuing a BFA in Film with a minor in Writing for Film, TV & Emerging Media at Ithaca College, where I’m exploring storytelling from concept through post-production. I’ve built hands-on experience on sets, in editing suites, and behind social-media content creation, and I’m excited to collaborate with creative teams on ambitious projects. I thrive in hands-on environments and love bringing ideas to life through directing, writing, and editing. Outside of production work, I contribute to student media and PR efforts, continually refining my craft while balancing academics and practical experience.
