Rose Rebel Productions Ltd. is a film & multimedia production company committed to promoting an ideal of common humanity through the visual arts, film and photography. At Rose Rebel, we believe that one of the main transformations now facing humanity is a transformation from sectoral to integral thinking, from a thought pattern driven by limited concepts of race, gender, faith and nationality to a more universal view of what it means to be human, a sense of common humanity. This is a turbulent and exciting era, and Rose Rebel wants to make a contribution by creating visual arts and film projects focusing on our common humanity. Rose Rebel Productions was founded by Martha C.E. Van Der Bly in 2010 and born of her two passions, acting & sociology. After studying globalisation and culture for her PhD in Sociology at Trinity College Dublin, Martha was convinced that we would eventually see humanity coming together in one society. However, this movement towards common humanity will inevitably give rise to opposing tendencies: division and withdrawal into national identities. Right now, the world is at a crossroad. The retreat to nationalism vs. the process of internalisation and accommodation that has underpinned European and world peace since the Second World War. It is at this very moment that we want to create art promoting a sense of common humanity and a shared human destiny.
