Soph Fuchs
as Punch, Co-Writer/Co-Director/Co-Producer
as Punch, Co-Writer/Co-Director/Co-Producer
Soph (they/them) is a designer, activist, and writer. Born and raised in Southern California, Soph left a fraught home to live in their Honda Civic, thus beginning their experience with homelessness. Through their twenties, they attended school, worked, made community, and even returned their library books on time, all while living in the back seat of a two-door hatchback. They have dabbled in everything from Stage Management to Fine Arts to User Experience Research and lived all across the county doing it.
Off-stage, Soph can be found organizing tenants, feeding folks, and eating any pill they find on the ground. Their work focuses primarily on housing, policing, and the humanization of those society deems outcasts. They hope Vanlyfe speaks to others who have also been unhoused—we will never be alone and we will never be made invisible.
