A poet and an actor, Jane Stephens Rosenthal grew up immersed in film. She moved towards directing after working with artistic director Yuval Sharon while writing the acclaimed LA opera "Hopscotch." Writing her first short film, she realized that if she wanted to see/feel the story she had written as an actor the way she wrote/felt it, she was going to have to direct it. And she fell in love. Her directorial debut NO ONE EVER SAID premiered at the Independent Filmmakers Showcase, played in the LA International Shorts Festival, HollyShorts and will be online in the Unlonely Film Festival.
