Rosanne Limoncelli is the Director of Production for Film and New Media at the Kanbar Institute, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. She received her BFA from the Department of Film & TV at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and her PhD in Teaching Reading, Writing, and Media from NYU’s Steinhardt School. She has been teaching writing and filmmaking to students and teachers since 1989, and has served as a consultant in the area of teacher education to high schools, colleges and universities.
In recent years, much of Rosanne’s focus has been on writing mystery novels, short stories and a filmmaking textbook. But she has been shifting that focus to make room for more filmmaking. In March of 2015, Rosanne finished LIBERTY, a short film about a young woman finding the courage to make a positive change in her life. Rosanne recently finished another short film, TWO TERESAS, co-directed by Ariana Taveras, about two women from different backgrounds and generations who forge an unlikely friendship. Feature projects in development, MY FRIEND CLARA, which takes place in 1909 New York, about an Italian immigrant who meets a Jewish immigrant during the garment workers strike, and a feature version of TWO TERESAS.
