Her work has been displayed on many different platforms worldwide, including film festivals such as Camerimage, Krakow film festival, Cine Gear, and VIZIO filmmakers Challenge, to mention a few.

Edgar Rosa is a multi-racial line producer from Des Moines, Iowa. Growing up in theater and music were the foundation of his artistic endeavors before the film industry. He received his BA in Film Production at Emerson College in 2012 before moving to Los Angeles to pursue his Masters in Producing at the AFI Conservatory. He recently produced the award-winning film "Bob Trevino Likes It," which snagged the SXSW 2024 Audience Award and the Jury Prize for Best Narrative Feature.
Edgar began to work professionally in digital media during the rise of YouTube and social media influencers/creators. Over the past few years, he has lent his services on commercials, TV series, and feature films across the world. These jobs have allowed him to build an impressive list of collaborators in a relatively short amount of time. Outside of work, Edgar spends his time educating himself on social justice, volunteering, listening to music, redesigning his apartment, involved in the sex-positive community, and wondering why they haven't arrested the murderers of innocent black, indigenous, and other persons of color from the last 400 years+ in American history.
The new year brings new opportunity as Edgar has several projects on the horizon that will allow him to bring diverse stories to the screen while ensuring equity of crew behind the camera. This is planned with time off to focus on mental and physical well-being. He is grateful to those who align with the balance of these goals.
