One of Rocco’s most recent directorial projects is about to hit the web! The second season of the successful web series “Unicorn Plan-It” is set to premiere on October 1st at a huge launch party in Los Angeles. The series is written by and stars its three creators, Sarah Croce, Ashley Reed, and Haviland Stillwell, all of whom are talented artists in LA’s GLBT community. “Unicorn Plan-It” centers on a lesbian-run party planning committee trying to find its place in the crazy and eclectic Los Angeles environment. The show’s first season was very successful, and Rocco feels very fortunate to have had the opportunity to direct its second season. Rocco states: “I had an incredible time working with these gifted women who support artists from the GLBT community and who are all about having fun and giving their audiences a gut-busting and highly entertaining experience."
