Co-Founders 

Zoey Rose
After having her short film PRELUDE banned from being shown at Modesto Junior College, Zoey decided that film school wasn’t for her. Fed up with the injustice, she quit her high paying job, sold her house (all of this against the better judgment of her parents) and moved to Hollywood, where she would pay more to rent a one bedroom apartment than a home she could call her own in California’s central valley. 

Zoey quickly landed on her feet writing and developing comedy bits for her short lived comedy troupe The Public Offender and produced the award-winning horror/western short "Ghost Town." 


With her knack for self-promotion and a bizarre sense of humor, her first job (not paying, mind you) was an internship for Suntaur Entertainment to help promote their upcoming film release. Through her passion and dedicated work ethic, she quickly rose through the ranks and is now the VP of Development at the up-and-coming indie production company. 


Besides her development work at Suntaur, Zoey has helped develop, produce, write and edit several web series, including "Mr. Hollywood," "Porntourage," and “Wave Goodbye,” has judged several screenwriting competitions (including American Accolades and Scriptapalooza) and has been a guest speaker at many screenwriting events (Sherwood Oaks College, the Horror Writers Association, Killercon, Great American Pitchfest). 


Zoey has trained at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in LA, performs standup comedy all over town, and continues to write her own comedy scripts (which mainly address her unique view of gender while living as a transgender woman).
 

Zoey and Suntaur Entertainment do not accept any unsolicited queries at this time except through virtualpitchfest.com
