“Sandra Soke is a wondrous costume designer — expansively knowledgeable, wildly inventive, hardworking, calming, organized, gifted and wonderfully collegial. People love to work with her. I recommend her for any production, big or small!”
— Guy Madden
“Sandra, you are a miracle thank you for getting my characters.” — Del Shores (A Very Sordid Wedding)
“It is with great and genuine confidence which I endorse Sandy Soke as Costume Designer. She is a confident and capable department leader with a calm, balanced approach. She was a joy to work with and upon my next-Manitoba film, I will unquestionably offer the Costume Designer position to Ms. Soke. She is as proficient (or more) as any Costume Designer I've worked with in Toronto or Hollywood.
On, Trench 11' we made a World War One film which tested each of our Manitoba crew's creativity and craft within significant production constraints. None performed better than Ms. Soke. She communicated cleanly and effectively. Her staff is capable, dedicated and hard-working. You can feel the loyalty and respect they have for Ms. Soke. She performed minor miracles regularly and delivered on-budget.
It is also worth mentioning that as the production evolved from development, to prep, to production, Ms. Soke remained entirely positive and consistently effective. I'm being completely honest when I say I don't think she took one second off.”

I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of Sandy's work. She captured our director's vision brilliantly, achieving his specific requests and then going above and beyond in crafting the look of the entire film, expanding and filling in his vision in ways that surpassed our wildest expectations. Her attitude is a pleasure to work with; she is always looking for the creative solution to challenges as they arise to make miracles happen.
We were incredibly blessed to have her as a part of our team, and I recommend her with the highest possible support to any other filmmaker fortunate enough to take advantage of her talents.
— Emerson Collins
“It is my pleasure to recommend Costume Designer Sandra Soke. Sandy was the Costume Designer on the feature film "Trench 11", which I directed and co-wrote. We had a very tight budget - I know that people always say that but please trust me, we truly did - and Sandy did an exceptional job. She has excellent taste, a tireless work ethic, a positive attitude and runs a great department. It should also be noted that Sandy is a really nice and fun to person to be around.
I look forward to working with Sandy again and strongly recommend her to all others. Should you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.”
