Kelly Rouse | Co-Producer, Co-Director
While earning a BFA in Motion Picture, Television and Recording Arts from the Florida State University, Kelly wrote and directed a short, BABE'S BOUTIQUE, which was selected for the Independent Film Channel's Student Showcase. After graduating, she moved to Los Angeles to attend UCLA's Professional Program in Screenwriting. She recently sold her feature screenplay, MOST LIKELY TWO, to Columbia Pictures.
Kelly worked in development at Echo Lake Productions, where she assisted with the distribution of David Riker's LA CIUDAD (THE CITY) and production of Allison Anders' THINGS BEHIND THE SUN. Feeling the production itch, Kelly left to work on the Miramax comedy, A VIEW FROM THE TOP.
Kelly and her partner, Jennifer Willis, produced the short, SHAVING, which screened at several festivals, including the San Francisco Int'l. Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, the Toronto Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and Out in Africa.
