Stephens College Summer Film Workshop

Rosanne and husband, Douglas, will be taking part in the Stephens College Summer Film Workshop in Columbia, MO, this July. Rosanne will be the writer-in-residence, developing the story and script for a short film that will be planned, cast and shot over the course of the workshop.

"PIECES PARTS"
A short film written by Rosanne Welch, a successful television writer/producer who used to be a high school English teacher was inspired by the courageous real-life story of a Los Angeles art teacher, who gives at-risk teenagers a chance to put their lives back together. By constructing mosaics, the kids find those pieces of their troubled lives that have meaning and a way to mold those disparate pieces into a whole.
