THE FILM

Sub Rosa is Krisstian de Lara's thesis film, a project he has been developing since May of 2012. Krisstian strive for a story that could be complex yet subtle and full of emotions. “I definitely wanted to make a serious story where characters faced complex situations due to their actions. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and do something I have never attempted to do before.” While Sub Rosa address some sensitive and taboo topics it does so in a professional and tasteful way. After all, this is a character driven story. It's a film made to tell a story that has not been told before.

His second directorial film, Rift City, is currently in post-production and is expected to release next year.




"Most people see 'love' as something beautiful, Sub Rosa shows the audience how love can be beautiful while still having a very disturbing side to it. Alan doesn't only get into this situation for love but also for pleasure and of course...revenge." -Mario Temes

"I love doing roles that are way out of my comfort zone,
and Edna was definitely one that pushed me further than any other."
-Julie Kendall
