Rose Troche

Rose Troche is an American lesbian filmmaker known for co-directing (with Guinevere Turner) Go Fish (1994) — a landmark of New Queer Cinema that depicted a community of young lesbians in Chicago with warmth, humor, and a guerrilla aesthetic — and for Bedrooms and Hallways (1998). She directed multiple episodes of The L Word (Showtime) and Six Feet Under (HBO). Go Fish was made for approximately $15,000, became one of the signature films of 1990s queer independent cinema, and is regularly cited as the film that proved a market existed for lesbian-centered storytelling.
