Rose Sutton is a Brooklyn-based filmmaker of Syrian Jewish descent specializing in directing, producing, and photography. A recent graduate of NYU Tisch's Film and Television program as a Tisch Scholarship recipient, her work explores emotional complexity and the interplay between lived experience of the past, present, and artistic expression. Raised across shifting homes after her parents' divorce, Rose developed a deep appreciation for storytelling that embraces nuance, abstraction, and collaboration. Her style leans into bold visual experimentation, often merging music, movement, and layered imagery to evoke feelings that resist traditional narrative. At NYU, she created Color My Grey Street and her senior thesis, The Music Coma, a feature film set for completion in 2026. Her films have screened at festivals including the Big Apple Film Festival and NYU's First Run Film Festival among others, where she received awards for screenwriting, performance, and sound design. Music remains the catalyst behind everything she creates. She hopes to tap into many waters within the creative medium throughout her lifetime. She was also awarded grants from the NYU Clive Davis Institute and the Lancer Family Foundation for excellent use of music in film. In 2021, she was selected to be a part of the Tisch Collaborative Research Cohort for her conceptualization of dance film, Don't Hold The Wall. Outside of filmmaking, Rose is a movement artist and poet.
