Rose Troche

Rose Troche (born in 1964 in Chicago) is a film and television director, television producer, and screenwriter.

Early life and education

Troche grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and earned a degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago. She began her career by making short films and videos. Troche was born to Puerto Rican parents and grew up on the city's north side of Chicago and her Puerto Rican family never quite fit in. "My parents thought moving to the suburbs was a sign of success," she says while sitting at a café in New York's West Village. "We were always the family that made everyone say, 'There goes the neighborhood.'" She moved to the suburbs in her teens with her family and started working part-time at a film theater; this is where her interest in film developed. She got her undergraduate in art history from the University in Chicago Illinois, Chicago and was a graduate film student.

Personal life

Troche is second generation Puerto Rican and she is a lesbian. She met Guinevere Turner her then partner while she was making Gabriella (1991 -1993). They began to work on a film based on their own experiences and their friends in the Chicago lesbian community, which they originally titled "Ely and Max," but was changed to Go Fish. By 1993 Troche and Turner ended their relationship and Troche moved to New York where she wrote several scripts. Rose Troche says mixing business and romance on a lesbian film set can be a recipe for disaster. Turner and Troche detail how their breakup during the middle of Go Fish's production was not only difficult for them personally but also trying for their cast and crew, who felt compromised by the fighting couple's palpable tension on the set. Troche lived in London from (1997–1999) until she returned to United States to direct The Safety of Objects (2001).
