REBECCA LAMARCHE
Rebecca Lamarche is a producer known for strong values, pushing the status quo and exemplifying that business should also equal pleasure. With a high-energy approach to identifying top stories, talent and creative deal structures, she believes that there is art in the business of entertainment.
Rebecca specializes in developing and packaging strong IP into top-performing pictures, having closed millions of dollars worth of deals, and continues to find creative deal structures which mutually benefit both parties.
Notably, Rebecca has made her mark on the TV Movie industry by being an early advocate and champion of pushing for BIPOC lead casting and pay equity – causing major waves in 2018 – helping to pave the way for more inclusive casting and better opportunities for underrepresented groups in the film and television industry.
Along with her comprehensive producing experience, Rebecca is an in-demand actor seen across network television, major streaming platforms and in viral indie features. Her immersion in the business informs her work on both sides of the camera making her an intuitive filmmaker and performer.
