Raised in a Jewish family by his mother Irene "Kelly" (Kellerman), an art teacher, and his father Sonny Sonnenfeld, a lighting salesman and architectural lighting designer, Barry's early life was steeped in creativity and innovation.From an early age, Sonnenfeld was exposed to the arts, leading him to pursue a bachelor's degree from Hampshire College. His passion for filmmaking blossomed further when he graduated from the prestigious New York University Film School in 1978.
