Socks and Cakes is a 2010 American short slice of life written and directed by Antonio Padovan and starring Kirsty Meares, Timothy J. Cox, Jeff Moffitt, Ben Prayz and Alex Vincent.

Both seem to put on a positive front that all is well with their marriage, but Amanda has her doubts and Richard has a wandering eye, especially when he meets the free-spirited, innocent, Sophie (Alex Vincent).

In 2007, at the age of twenty,[1] Antonio Padovan moved from Italy to live in New York City to take up an internship at an architectural firm.

[2] After a couple of years, finding himself working twelve-hour days and often weekends,[2] Padovan realized the career was not for him: "I've always loved films, I own myself probably 2000 DVDs, but back in Italy I never thought I could have been part of it.

[3] Despite this, the firm continued to give him projects, and he began to divide his time between architecture and wandering Manhattan with a camera on his shoulder; at the end of the program, after completing Socks and Cakes he received a full scholarship to come back for another year.
