Dror Soref is an award-winning filmmaker who, shortly after attending USC Film School, started his career directing music videos for "Weird Al" Yankovic, which helped establish the rock parodist as a major star. Following his success in music videos, Soref landed a housekeeping deal at Paramount Studios.

With the help of the Studio, The Seventh Coin became Soref’s debut as a feature film writer/director. The Seventh Coin, starring Peter O’Toole, won two festival awards including Best Picture.

While at Paramount, Soref founded Orbit Productions, serving as one of its commercial directors. As Orbit’s CEO, Soref ran one of Hollywood’s most successful commercial production companies – a skillful melding of creative, administrative and financial abilities.

Soref later parlayed a successful career in commercials into feature films, signing a multiple-picture deal with Mike Medavoy’s Phoenix Pictures with one for Soref himself to direct. The first motion picture under this deal was Basic starring John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson, released by Columbia Pictures.
