Rosalie (2019-2021)

Directed and edited by Bri Castellini (it me!) (episodes 4, 5, 6)
Created by, written by, and starring Celenia Lugo

Rosalie comes out as a lesbian at a time in her life when most people have already done everything and she’s done absolutely nothing.

About

After denying herself romance her entire adult life, Rosalie finally admits her truth: she’s a lesbian who’s never even so much as held hands with someone. Her romantic journey takes place at a time in her life when most people have already done everything and she’s done absolutely nothing.


Creator Celenia Lugo was a graduate student in my Digital Media class as part of earning her MFA in Writing and Producing for Television at LIU-Brooklyn. She developed Rosalie in my class and produced the pilot, then decided to continue the project. I joined the production as an actor for episode 2 and 3 (as well as donating my apartment as a location), then joined as director and editor for the last half of the first season.

The full first season of Rosalie is officially online!
