Meet the Team

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to make it as a sketch. Maybe you want to make it a micro short. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.

Rose Lane Sanfilippo

Rose is a (semi-)recent graduate of the Lee Starsberg Theatre and Film Institute at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.

Rose sharpened her improv and sketch writing chops at the UCB Theatre in Hell's Kitchen, and when she does drama...hoo boy. How'd she get so damn good at living truthfully under imaginary circumstances, you might ask? Two years of meticulous study with legendary acting coach Anthony Abeson. Biatch.

Oh, you want more?! Rose wrote, produced, and stars in the upcoming web series What's W.H.A.T>

Alex Joseph Pires
