Movie poster. The top left corner features the title “Rose by Any Other Name.” Building off of the O in “Rose” are Mars and Venus symbols. The top right corner features a red rose, and the bottom left corner features a production slate. Stills from the series, of Rose with her friends, are scattered throughout the rest of the poster.One of the best parts of writing for Bitch has been hearing from folks who read the series, particularly when they recommend media I’ve never seen before. Such is the case with Rose By Any Other Name, a web series that recently finished its second season. Produced by Kyle Schickner of FenceSitter Films, the series follows Rose, a woman coming to terms with her bisexuality after falling in love with a man, Anthony (played by Schickner). The episodes chronicle Rose’s relationship with Anthony as she struggles to find a way to talk about her identity with her lesbian friends, the new acquaintances she’s met in a bisexual support group, and Anthony himself. The show is incredibly funny and emotional, but most importantly, it’s honest.
