Ramaa Mosley
Ramaa Mosley made her first film at age sixteen, the documentary We Can Make a Difference, about
global pollution's effect on children in local communities. The doc was screened around the world
and went on to win a United Nations' Global 500 Award in Geneva, Switzerland. After this initial
success, Ramaa moved to Los Angeles and landed a job as a script reader, convincing her employers
she was actually twenty-one. At eighteen years old Ramaa enrolled at Bennington College in Vermont,
where she studied theater, literature and photography. Two more documentaries (one about Jamaican
farm workers picking apples in Vermont and the other about the Aymara Indians living in the Alto
Planos of Bolivia) followed. Within 3 months of graduating from college Ramaa had seven offers to
sign as a director with the top commercial companies; within weeks she was directing music videos
for bands such as the B-52s, Creed and Five for Fighting, and soon award winning commercials for
clients such as Adidas, Powerade, PGA Golf, Callaway, Zyrtec, Royal Bank of Canada, L'oreal, Espn2
and Rockport.
Ramaa signed with Trio Commercials in January and has just posted spots for ESPN, Lee Jeans, Tide,
Walmart and Juicy Juice. Ramaa finished production on her directing debut "The Brass Teapot", a short
film which recently won her Best Director at the First Glance Film Festival. Ramaa is attached to
direct "Hypergraphia" produced by Red Om films.
