Sophia Dunn-Walker

While studying Directing at Reed College, Dunn-Walker signed with Muse Model Management and moved to Paris where she acted in both experimental art house films and big-budget commercials. While working in Paris, she wrote, directed, and produced several plays, and took French language acting courses at Cours Florent drama school and with Jack Waltzer of the Actor's Studio. Her first play, The Dressingroom, premiered at Le Fondation des Etas Unis. This same year Dunn-Walker appeared in two issues of British Vogue as a model. After being told she wasn't skinny enough to continue modeling professionally, Dunn-Walker began focusing more heavily on writing and directing for the theater. Her second play, Across the River Styx, appeared in several theaters across Paris and Montreuil, including La Guillotine and Theatre de la Feux de la Rampe. Her third and longest play, Cowabunga! A Dystopian Comedy won residency at the Chateau Orequevaux and at the Howara Theatre festival in Morocco. Dunn-Walker is a part of the Stories Matter writing program for young women with Leslie Zemeckis and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. As a young queer woman with a disability, Dunn-Walker is committed to uplifting others and working for humanitarian causes. She worked closely with Good Chance Theatre, an organization that works with migrant communities in Europe. As both a writer and an actor, Dunn-Walker is interested in blurring the lines between what is considered masculine and what is considered feminine, as well as the lines between what is human and what is divine. Her upcoming appearances include Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett-Smith, and The Queen Mary directed by Gary Shore. She splits her time between her studio in Downtown Los Angeles, and her residence in the South of France
