Sibling Films–part of the New York and Los Angeles-based brand studio and production company Sibling Rivalry–has added Nick Sokoloff to its directorial roster for U.S. representation spanning commercials, branded content and music videos. This marks the first production company signing and representation for editor-turned-director Sokoloff.
Sokoloff nurtured his keen editing IQ in his early career cutting trailers for studios including Disney, Paramount, and Universal. He then moved into docuseries editing in the action sports world for brands including Red Bull and the World Surf League.
His latest directorial film, Osmosis, chronicles the dichotomy of security guards who work at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and other New York museums by day and are also dedicated artists by night. In addition to screening at FLUX in 2023, Osmosis has won and been nominated for several awards including a Vimeo Staff Pick, the Clios, The One Show, AICP, and Cannes Lions.
“My career to date has been rooted in working with non-actors and telling their authentic stories within the documentary genre,” said Sokoloff. “At Sibling Films, I’m keen to further my directorial voice.”
Darren Foldes, partner and managing director at Sibling Films, said, “Nick brings the instinctive understanding that a compelling story can be told successfully at multiple lengths. Having already worked on one project with Nick, it has become apparent that he possesses the rare ability to refrain from saying cut until he’s in the edit bay, where he invariably unearths gold. Through his special brand of directorial alchemy, and an editing background that has made him clear in achieving his vision, Nick transmutes what he finds into magnetic and precise narratives.”
