âElle Rose,â a feature-length film, was written, directed and produced by Jessica Smith, of Sanford, a 2004 graduate of Lee Senior High School. It centers on best friends, Elle Rose and Carter, who fake a romance to satisfy a family memberâs dying wish.
âThis is my first time directing and producing an actual film work,â Smith said. âIt was absolute insanity. You have to be crazy to do any of this. But when itâs your passion .. when you finish doing it, the only thing youâre really thinking about is the next time you get to do it.â
