Sofia’s original series Listen to My Lips — a project she has been developing for nearly two years and which is now being produced by David & Golias — won the FEST Pitching Forum 2025.

Selected from over 320 submissions, only 25 projects made it to the final stage, including just six series. Sofia had five minutes to pitch the project in front of a jury and industry audience, followed by a live Q&A.

“This story is deeply personal,” she shared. “I’ve poured my heart and lived experience into it. I had nerves, yes — but mostly, I had fire inside me. Listen to My Lips is about resilience, connection, and daring to dream. This is only the beginning.”
