Commercial and Music Video Director

Lyla Rose is a writer/director specializing in empathetic, short-form content tackling social issues that primarily affect women and girls.

Her micro-short film ‘Invincible’ explores the damaging effects of dismissive remarks on girls’ confidence and was fully funded through Seed&Spark. ‘Bloodstream’ was awarded Best Music Video at the Musicbed Competition and addresses sexual harassment experiences of women through a stylized, choregoraphed dance. ‘The Future is Forward’ a national campaign Lyla wrote and directed for Pro-Choice America gained international press and was featured on Kodak. Lyla’s music video work for Atlantic Records also gained over 2.5 million views on YouTube.

Lyla was selected as a semi-finalist for the Commercial Directors Diversity Program (CDDP), a highly selective program powered by the Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP) and the Directors Guild of America (DGA). Lyla prioritizes community over competition in the film industry and is passionate about working with women and female-identifying folks on all of her productions.
