Rice recently completed the pilot for DIVISION STREET, a digital series about a mixed-race young girl sent to live with her cranky Jewish grandmother in a magical neighborhood in New York City. The pilot screened in numerous festivals including Slamdance, Raindance, ITVFest and SeriesFest and garnered awards across the country, and internationally. Her first short film, THE NIGHT TRAM, was nominated for a Student Academy Award. Rice was a finalist for the AFI Directing Workshop for Women in 2023. She was a New York Stage & Film 2021 Filmmakers' Workshop Fellow, where she developed her feature film script for RED ROCK FALLS, a psychological thriller based in a small mountain town in Colorado. Rice has a foundation in theater, and a background in film and television production work. She is adept at leading diverse teams through pre-production to final edit, and co-founded her community-based production company, Lo-Down Productions, with her partner Ed Litvak, in 2009. Rice is a long-time member and co-leader of the film collective, FilmShop, and proudly sits on the Board of The Lower East Side Film Festival.
