Her most recent film as director/editor, FOLLOWING HARRY, joins the artist and activist Harry Belafonte, beginning at the age of 84, as he embarks on a twelve-year journey to find out how to redirect oppression to oblivion. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. This film is a sequel to her film, Sing Your Song, about Harry Belafonte's earlier life as an artist and activist and was chosen to open the U.S. Documentary Competition section of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, where it was described as a story "told with a remarkable sense of intimacy, visual style and musical panache". This film continues to be in worldwide theatrical distribution and television broadcast and has aired on HBO. Sing Your Song received top honors in festivals around the world, was shortlisted for an Oscar, and garnered the NAACP Image Award and a Gracie for Outstanding Director.
Rostock, an EMMY NOMINATED editor and director, has achieved recognition on a myriad of films that continue to endure and resonate. In addition, her films have earned acknowledgement from multiple national and international festivals, had theatrical distribution, and aired on numerous television and cable platforms – HBO, BBC, PBS, etc. Her 20-year multi-award-winning collaboration as editor with director Michael Apted has produced such richly provocative films as: The Long Way Home; Incident At Oglala; Me & Isaac Newton; Inspirations; The Power of The Game; Moving The Mountain. Rostock is presently engaged in producing, directing, editing the documentary Between Starshine and Clay: The Hidden Diary of Diahann Carroll, co-directed by Suzanne Kay and Executive Produced by Serena and Venus Williams. The very deep, brutally honest passages in the diary not only speak truths to the past but resonate with the inner lives of women today.
