On setting up The Bureau with Bertrand Faivre in 2000, Sol co-produced Dagur Kari's debut multi award winning feature "Noi Albinoi", as well as Christian Carion's Academy Award Nominated "Joyeux Noël" and Diane Bertrand's second feature "L'Annulaire". Most recently Sol produced the multi-award winning "Glue" by Alexis Dos Santos which premiered at Rotterdam and Toronto in 2006.
Sol's shorts "Going Down", "Bait" , "Bubbles" and "Cockling" won numerous international nominations and awards including BAFTA nominations for two consecutive years (1999 and 2000), the Grand Prix du Jury at Angers, Best Drama at the British Short Film Festival, and Best Short Film at the US's Newport Film Festival.
Sol has completed the second Alexis Dos Santos' feature "Unmade Beds" alongside Peter Ettedgui. The film premiered at Sundance in 2009 and went on straight to Rotterdam Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival. She's currently developing Alexis' third project as well as other three feature projects: "Towers" written and directed by Faye Guilbert and "This House Believes" (both once again teaming up with Peter Ettedgui) and "Essex" written by Paven Virk. Her slate of future projects is quite diverse: she's currently financing the romantic comedy “Love You, Love You Not” written by award winning writers Jonathan Pett & Fiorela Ruas, with the brilliant French producer Alain Benguigui, the horror "Everybody Dies", second feature by Steven Sheil, known for his successful debut "Mum&Dad" and the animation "Star, teaming up with the producer Elaine Mc Elroy, the writer Chris Denne and director Garry Marshall.
