Movies by Coley Sohn

Coley Sohn is an iconoclastic filmmaker who brings a sharp, subversive wit and a keen eye for the absurdities of modern life to all her work. Though she began her creative journey as a stage actor, Sohn found her true calling behind the camera, where she's crafted a series of delightfully offbeat films that challenge conventions and defy easy categorization. Sohn burst onto the independent film scene in 2012 with her debut feature, "Sassy Pants," a coming-of-age comedy that deftly balances laugh-out-loud humor with poignant observations about family, self-discovery, and the messiness of growing up. Her latest film, the darkly comedic "Mud Key" (2024), solidified her reputation as a unique and vital voice in American cinema, blending social satire, quirky characters, and a sly, sardonic sensibility that feels both totally of the moment and entirely her own. Whether she's exploring the complexities of female friendship in "Dodie & Cheryl Get Hitched" or slyly skewering the pretensions of the art world, Sohn's work is consistently marked by a fearless, boundary-pushing spirit and a refusal to play by the rules. Her films offer a refreshingly subversive take on the human experience, inviting audiences to see the world through her distinctly offbeat, incisive lens.
