Born in Philadelphia, William Sokolic has worked as a journalist for almost 30 years, employed by papers such as the Philadelphia Inquirer and Courier-Post. For much of his career, he covered Atlantic City and the Jersey Shore, so he considers himself quite the expert. In addition to his prolific career as a reporter, William has completed half-dozen screenplays, and is working on still others. He also founded and presides over Atlantic City Cinefest, a film festival in October. Oh yeah, once upon a time, William was a dentist.
