It's hard to believe that Rebecca Rojer graduated from Columbia High School just six years ago.
Six Junes after accespting that diploma, Rojer will be debuting her acclaimed short film "Ashley/Amber" tonight at the New Jersey International Film Festival in Hoboken.
"Ashley/Amber" is a dark comedy about an antiwar activist who becomes an internet celebrity after being outed as the one-time star of porn video. It premiered in February at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival. The film is writer/director/producer Rebecca Rojer's undergraduate thesis (Rojer is a recent graduate of Harvard College).
Hoboken, NJ resident Diane Guerrero stars as Ashley.
Rojer produced her first short films and animations as a student at Columbia High School. In 2004 — while still at CHS — she participated in the William H. Cosby Future Filmmakers Workshop at NYU and the Innerspark-CSSSA Animation Program at CalArts.
