Sophia Belahmer
Sophia Belahmer’s signature style is defined by her meticulous direction, deeply human storytelling, and emotionally resonant narratives, where every nuance of performance is thoughtfully highlighted. Deeply attuned to today’s social issues, she brings a sharp, thoughtful perspective to every project she takes on.
Already well established in television and fiction, she made a dynamic entrance into the advertising world with ROMEO, directing the latest Guignolée des médias campaign—an impactful and widely acclaimed project that resonated with both audiences and the industry.
Since the start of her career, Sophia has built a strong foundation in both screenwriting and directing. In 2013, she co-wrote and co-directed all three seasons of the web series Switch & Bitch with Juliette Gosselin for Tou.tv. Originally recognized as a short film, the project won the Tourner à tout prix and Coup de cœur du public awards at the Festival Regard.
She also collaborated with Jean-Carl Boucher on the documentary series Chef Oli vire champêtre, which aired on Télé-Québec. In recent years, she has directed the short fiction series Détox and the lifestyle magazine Beau dans ma tête. Her latest project, the feminist noir thriller Discrètes—co-created with Juliette Gosselin and streamed on Tou.tv—won the 2024 Gémeaux Award for Best Original Digital Drama Production, along with honors at the NYC and Melbourne Web Fests.
