You may not know her by name but you’ve seen her work. Starting with Studio 54 and moving forward into the New York celebrity fashion scene, Rose has photographed every major celebrity, fashion designer, artist, and socialite who has ever ventured out into the nightlife of NYC. Rose was one of the first photographers to capture the backstage environment of the fashion world and is known by the industry elite as the woman who takes a portrait that the subject would have taken themselves. The film follows Rose through her life of entrée as she put the lives of the glamorous and famous on film that serves as one of the few visual histories of NYC.

Cooked up in the sweaty southern heat of North Florida, Otis got his film degree from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and paid his dues in the world of editing and graphic design. He quickly moved to his true love: filmmaking. Otis began in music videos, and moved to national TV ads for years, preparing him to shoot his first feature documentary.
