Sophie Deraspe fell into cinema through visual arts and literature. As both a director and a cinematographer she worked mostly in documentary before directing her realism-bending first feature-length film Missing Victor Pellerin in 2006, which received critical acclaim and screenings around the world. Her film The Amina Profile had its world premiere at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival in the World Cinema Documentary Competition. Her film Antigone was selected to have its World Premiere in the Contemporary World Cinema section of TIFF 2019. Deraspe returns to TIFF in 2024 with Shepherds (Bergers) in which a Montréal copywriter sets out to reinvent himself as a sheep herder in the French Alps despite knowing literally nothing about the centuries-old craft.
