warren p. sonoda: director/editor
email: warren@ruckusfilm.com
Warren P. Sonoda is one of Canada’s
most successful and accomplished music video directors.
With more than 100 videos under his belt it’s not
surprising that Warren has some of the most highly rotated
videos on MuchMusic, CMT, MTV, MTV Europe and VH-1. His
distinctive style and incredible knack for creating memorable
stories has earned him 15 national video nominations and
a total of 6 wins (and counting).
Warren has also distinguished himself as one
of Canada’s best editors with almost 200 videos in
all genres of music as well as several television and DVD
projects. (His editing on Jackalope’s “Feel
It” video is nominated for 2005 MuchMusic Video Award
and 3 of the 5 nominations for 2005 MMVA best hip hop video
were edited by Warren.) He edited the feature film “Phil
the Alien” which was featured at the 2004 Toronto
Film Festival and was acquired by Lions Gate.
Speaking of features, Warren recently made
his feature directorial debut with “Ham & Cheese”
starring Dave Foley (Kids in the Hall, A Bug’s Life),
Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall, The Larry Sanders Show)
and Samantha Bee (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart). Variety
calls it “a Must See” and The National Post
says it’s “the funniest Canadian movie in recent
history”.
While Warren has several feature projects
in development and continues to be in high demand on Canadian
music video projects, he looks forward to creating more
memorable clips for artists in the US.
