MACKENZIE ROSARIO

I am a first-generation Dominican-American writer/director/producer based in Savannah, Georgia. I am a current full-time M.F.A Deans Fellow student at the Savannah College of Art and Design double majoring in Film and Television Production and Dramatic Writing. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2021, majoring in Cinema and Photography and minoring in Marketing. Recently, my short film Forward Journey (2020) was chosen as the Grand Prize recipient for the Eastern Region Latino Category for the 27th Annual Directors Guild of America Student Film Awards. I strive to assist in the efforts of telling and promoting stories of underrepresented communities.
