MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTOR: SOPHIE MULLER

Sophie Muller was born in Marylebone, London, but spent her early years growing up on the Isle of Man. After leaving secondary education, she returned to London to attend Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, gaining a Foundation Diploma in Art.

Following her graduation, Muller went to the Royal College of Art to study for her Masters in Film and Television, where she made "Interlude" and "In Excelsis Deo (In Adoration of God)." The latter won the J Walter Thompson Prize for creativity.


CAREER
Sophie's goal was to become a successful director in her own right, and her big break came through a chance meeting with John Stewart and Billy Poveda of Oil Factory, an established film production company.

She has directed over a hundred music videos and has been a longtime collaborator with acts like Sophie Ellis-Bextor, No Doubt, Garbage, Blur, Annie Lennox and Eurythmics.

When No Doubt won the award for Best Group Video for "Don't Speak" at the 1997 MTV Music Video Awards Gwen Stefani thanked her extensively by saying:

"She has a very pronounced style and taste that drew me in.
I think she has the gift of being able to bring out the artist's personality, emotion and style.
A woman in charge in the male-dominated world of filmmaking makes the whole experience that much more exciting.
She has a way of making every cut have a reason and meaning.
The videos have a life of their own and become better each time you watch them."
