She wrote, directed and produced a short film, EVERY BEAUTIFUL THING, starring Lauren Weedman, and showing at film festivals in the USA. The film has won awards for score[11], and features the Bob Dylan song, "Not Dark Yet," scored by Trey Gunn and sung by Dylan Nichole Bandy.
Sonya mentors writing students privately, and teaches at Hugo House[12] in Seattle and the Red Badge Project[13], where she developed a pilot writing program for women service members and veterans suffering from combat trauma and military sexual trauma.[14] She is a guest lecturer at universities in North America, and is developing a program for healing trauma through writing.
