Mia Sorensen is a director blending cinematic precision with documentary truth.

Her work focuses on the emotional intersections—where personal stories collide with social, political, or institutional realities. She brings a narrative filmmaker’s eye to real people, drawing out lived-in performances and honest moments that resonate long after the cut.

​
Mia has directed campaigns for the U.S. Army, Jane Goodall Institute, and national advocacy organizations. She’s also worked with Sony, Mercedes, Lionsgate, Disney, Showtime, and Vice, building a reputation for films that feel intimate and cinematic, even on small crews or tight timelines.
Her doc-style commercial work is grounded, human, and visually composed; her narrative films explore grief, identity, and the quiet ruptures beneath everyday life.

​
A former mentee of Edward Albee, Mia’s approach to directing is shaped by emotional rigor, character truth, and a commitment to witnessing people as they are—not as brands or institutions expect them to be.
Currently, she’s directing the feature Framing Marie Dörr and developing The Uprising, a near-future social thriller.
