sophie worger
director/producer
Having spent the last ten years working in TV comedy on shows such as Emmy award winning 'Ted Lasso' and BAFTA winning 'Horrible Histories', 'Catastrophe' and 'End of the F*cking World' Sophie has simultaneously been building a portfolio of her own directorial work. Her directorial debut, 'Jack and Jill' was selected to screen at the London Short Film Festival, San Antonio Laughs Comedy Film Slam and Corto Imola Festival in Italy. Sophie also worked with sketch comedians Beard to develop one of their sketches into the short film, 'The Lonely Ghost'. The film screened at LOCO 2017 at the BFI.
Sophie continues to collaborate with up-and-coming actors and writers, discovering illuminating and entertaining stories that are able to connect with an audience.
Sophie is fascinated by stark, dry humour that finds itself peppered in modern life and, for her, most notably in the lives of women. Making work that is distinctively absurd whilst retaining a delightfully warm realism is one of her passions but also bringing awkward and uncomfortable topics to an audience and allowing them to be normalised through comedy and spoken about freely.
She is looking forward to continuing to create projects where she can use the subtle power of dramatic comedy to shed light on interesting and untold stories. -

producer
Blue was Tracey’s first step into the world of producing. She has been working in the film and television industry for over 20 years as an assistant director on scripted comedies, high end drama’s, and feature films. Along the way Tracey has been lucky enough to work with – and learn from - a range of experienced producers. Telling a successful story requires connecting with its characters. For Tracey, this happened as soon as she read Blue.
Tracey really embraced the challenges that shooting Blue brought, she was able to bring together a highly experienced and talented cast and crew and was able to utilise contacts made through her career to successfully deliver Blue.
