Canadian photographer and director Floria Sigismondi embarked on her illustrious career as a fashion photographer, laying the foundation for her future success in the industry. She is widely recognized for her remarkable work in writing and directing The Runaways, a testament to her versatility and talent.
Prior to her foray into film direction, Sigismondi was approached by The Revolver Film Co., a production company that would ultimately facilitate her entry into the world of music video direction. Her extensive portfolio boasts an impressive array of music videos created for numerous Canadian bands.
In October 2004, Sigismondi welcomed her daughter, Tosca Vera Sigismondi-Berlin, into the world. Her husband, Lillian Berlin, the lead singer of the American alternative rock band Living Things, is the father of her child. The couple resides in three distinct locations: Toronto, New York City, and Los Angeles.
Notably, Sigismondi's daughter was named after the Italian opera Tosca, while the director herself was named after the main character, underscoring the significance of her namesake in her personal and professional life.
