Sophia Jennings (b. San Francisco, CA) is a writer and producer based in Los Angeles.

Sophia began her career interviewing artists for MTV.com and Rolling Stone before working in scripted development for The Creative Studio, a production company founded by Scooter Braun and BBH. While working out of BBH’s London office, Sophia joined the Soho Theatre Young Company for comedic writers.

In 2022, Sophia became the writer’s assistant to Justin Britt-Gibson (Thomas Crown Affair, Counterpart) under his HBO overall deal. She assisted Britt-Gibson on Damon Lindelof’s Unt. Star Wars feature at Lucasfilm. The following year, Sophia wrote and produced Pigs (dir. Julia Jackman), a short film starring Olivia Williams (The Crown, Rushmore) and Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) which premiered at the 2024 BFI London Film Festival. Director’s Notes described the film as, “a strange and darkly comic dinner party with unexpected guests, wild hairstyles, and plenty of tension.”

To date, Sophia’s pilots and feature scripts have placed in competitions such as the Hollyshorts Film Festival, Thousand Films Writing Competition (Sid Gentle Films x Edinburgh TV Festival x National Film & Television School), Female Voices Rock, and the Slick Films Fund.

While developing tv/film projects in both London and LA, Sophia continues to interview talent such as Cher, Jason Alexander, and Glenn Close for partners such as Harper’s Bazaar, ESQUIRE, and DIOR. You can read more of her work on her Substack, Making a Scene.
