Sorelli moved to Los Angeles in 2008. Her first film, Strange Strangers, was released in 2012. It featured Riley Keough,[2] who also starred in Sorelli's short, Madame Le Chat, which premiered at the Marfa Film Festival in 2014.[3]
In 2013 she founded a production company, Sorelli Presents, and opened a gallery and boutique in Hollywood. It became known as The Evil Rock N Roll Cat based on a drawing of an electrified cat that appeared on the building's exterior.[4] LA's "most cultishly cool store",[1] it appeared on the GQ list of the Coolest Off-the-Beaten-Path stores in America.[5] Sorelli curated art installations at The Evil Rock N Roll Cat, including After the Boom, a collection of Donna Santisi's photos of women in the 1970s LA rock scene,[6] and The Runaways, an exhibit of Runaways memorabilia and Brad Elterman's original photos of the band. The Runaways was also shown at the Poppington Gallery in New York in 2015.[7][8]
In 2014 Sorelli founded Hollywood Savage Society, a unisex clothing line inspired by punk and 1970s rock and roll.[9] She said in a 2017 interview that she started Hollywood Savage Society because she couldn't find clothing she wanted to wear.[10][1]
