New Web Series “VEGAN 101”
Launches on KoldCastTV and FunnyorDie.com

Actress/Writer/Producer/Vegan JOANNE ROSE
Takes a Humorous Look at Her Vegan Lifestyle

Los Angeles (May 12, 2009) – Actress/Writer/Producer JOANNE ROSE takes eating healthy to a whole new level with her comedic web series VEGAN 101. The first episode “Dating a Vegan” just launched on the web television network KoldCastTV and FunnyorDie.com

Rose brings on Michael Ojeda (Deadliest Warrior, Lana’s Rain) as Director of Photography for the witty and eccentric veganism moments. Rose writes, produces and stars in the project. Other episodes currently in the works The Theory of Vegan-ology, Veg High The Vegan Personals, The Vegan Gazette, Vegan Wedding Planner, Vegan Confessions, Vegan Birthday, Vegan Speed Dating, The Raw Date, Diaries of a Vegan Gossip.

A vegan since she was a teen, Rose has plenty of material to draw upon for her web series. She hopes to inspire, educate and entertain everyone, especially non-vegans, with her new web series. Rose explains, “People love to laugh and be entertained, so it’s a way of informing others about veganism in a different light. I hope to achieve international success so the word ‘vegan’ becomes a strong part of global vocabulary, which will influence others to learn about the lifestyle through curiosity and fascination. With entertainment, people won’t shun away.”

Bringing the vegan way of life to the masses isn’t a new concept for Rose, Founder of VeganVision.net, author of the popular children’s book Tommy Tofu Saves The Day, and spokes model for Nutiva. Rose began her career as a model in her native born Australia at the age of 16. She caught the acting bug while on vacation in California and has been working in film, television and stage in both countries ever since.

Rose is also adapting the web series for the stage, mounting a reading in New York this summer and then a full production in Los Angeles later this year.

In addition, Rose is working on two more vegan themed children’s books, Sammy and the Magic Soybean and Mandy Mungbean. And, there are even plans to turn her first book Tommy Tofu Saves The Day into an animated movie.
