About Rose

My name is Rose and I am an innovative, award-winning producer, writer, and director for independent film, commercial, and webseries. I am passionate about film production and have earned frequent recognition for exemplary production management skills; I have successfully produced over a dozen projects for film, commercial and webseries with limited budgets while retaining visually superior appearances. I am also experienced in executing both union (SAG) and non-union projects.

During my experience, I have consistently exhibited strong communication skills in collaborating with industry professionals and engaging in contract negotiations. I also have entrepreneurial abilities in establishing and running a production company for independent film, commercials, and webseries. I have experience in serving in additional capacities within the industry such as Assistant Director, 2nd Assistant Director, and Locations Manager. I currently hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Digital Filmmaking and Video Production from The Art Institute of CA.

Currently, I'm the producer of "Banned," a short narrative film about the effect of the travel ban on one Muslim family (written and directed by Jasmine Ali).
