About

Hi, I'm Sophie! I am a producer. 

SOPHIE CHANGHUI SHI comes from Harbin, the capital of China’s northernmost province. Born on the first day of winter, Shi is named after sunshine in Chinese. Her English name Sophie comes from one of the signature architectures in Harbin, the Saint Sofia Cathedral. Her names reveal her biggest personality traits: a vivacious and intelligent person who makes people happy. 

Shi earned her BA in English from Hong Kong Polytechnic University with first-class honors. She was also the President of the school's English Drama Club. After college, Shi became a Certified Public Accountant and worked at Deloitte Hong Kong for four years. 

Shi then followed her passion for film and television and arrived in Los Angeles. Shi is the fifth Chinese student accepted to the prestigious UCLA MFA Producers Program since its establishment in 1984 and the first Chinese woman admitted in the 2010s.

Shi loves stories that deal with the theme of unconditional love and explore the ever-changing dynamics between people in close relationships.

Shi is a cat enthusiast even though she has never had one. She plays jigsaw puzzles for meditation. She loves hiking but fears slipping downhill. She misses going to theaters as much as riding roller coasters. Cooking, yoga, and ukulele are a few other things she enjoys in life. It is no secret that she is a Gryffindor.
