My name is Indica DeRose. I am a non-binary visual storyteller with a love for exploring the inner workings of the mind and heart. My journey started in childhood, piecing together horror stories with tiny plastic figurines and building entire worlds from scratch. Over time, that curiosity evolved into something deeper. Film became my voice. A messenger for what lives inside me and a vessel for truths the world needs to hear.

My work challenges the norms we’ve been fed. Particularly the glamorization of toxic dynamics, the erasure of queer voices, and the flattening of feminine characters into victims or archetypes.

I work with color not only as an aesthetic choice, but as a narrative force. Color in my films is deliberate and symbolic, shaping the emotional rhythm of the story and guiding the viewer’s subconscious response. I use color palettes to emphasize duality, to contrast internal conflict, and to leave impressions that linger in the viewer’s mind. Color speaks to truth without words.

Above all, I aim to deliver the hard but necessary messages the world often turns away from. For me, film is not just a visual art. It is a ritual. A space to ask hard questions, offer new realities, and carve room for those still searching for reflections of themselves on screen. Through my work, I hope to spark reflection, stir discomfort, and ultimately invoke change. I believe storytelling holds the power to not only expose what is hidden, but to inspire new realities.
