Canada-born Soho is the only Western filmmaker to have a direct connection to the filmmaking lineage of the all-time great filmmaker Satyajit Ray — who influenced Martin Scorcese, Christopher Nolan and Danny Boyle among others. Soho learned filmmaking from Ray's closest proteges — and various long-time members of his team including the iconic winner of France's Legion of Honour Soumitra Chatterjee -- star of 14 films by Ray and a mentor to Soho ever since his youth. Like Satyajit-san, Soho can execute all aspects of a film himself in a truly multifaceted manner and embraces Neo-realism by filming on location and casting real people who embody and represent the characters as was famously done in the Apu Trilogy. Furthermore, Soho has played the lead in short films and PSAs featuring many global celebrities including Stanley Kubrich's protege Shirley Douglas (wife of Donald Sutherland and mother of Kiefer Sutherland), Amitabh Bachchan (BBC's Star of the Millennium), Anupam Kher (Oscar-winning Silver Linings Playbook and NBC's "Amsterdam" TV series, Preity Zinta (Genie-nominated star of Deepa Mehta's Heaven on Earth), Lilly Singh (TV host with 14 million followers) and NBA Superstar Enes Freedom among others.
Lineage of history's all-time great filmmaker Satyajit Ray
Star is Reborn - the world's 1st global K-pop, K-dance & K-fashion film
Soho has directed and starred in the first global K-pop, K-dance and K-fashion film --like a K-pop version of "A Star is Born" and "Black Swan" with insights into the world of fashion a la "The Devil Wears Prada". Furthermore, like Satyajit-san, Soho cast a real-life paraplegic and Paralympian M.J. Baek in a powerful role that will open doors for Actors with Disabilities. The film also features some of the most unforgettable dance sequences that bring the "show don't tell" aspect of filmmaking to a new level. Please visit www.StarisReborn.com for more information.
