Florida State University alumna Allison Rose Carter — co producer on film that wins 7 Oscars & other FSU grads win

 

FSU alumna was part of Oscar award-winning 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'

The 2022 film “Everything Everywhere All at Once” — which was co-produced by Florida State University alumna Allison Rose Carter — earned seven Oscars during the 2023 Academy Awards ceremony, including Best Picture.

Carter, who graduated from FSU with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts in 2004, has produced more than 20 feature films that also include the 2016 movie “American Honey” and last year’s "The Sky Is Everywhere."

The overall win for Carter as a part of the film’s crew also became a win for her alma mater as FSU’s College of Motion Picture Arts cheered for her and other FSU alumni who contributed to nominated films.

A “Night at the Oscars” local streaming party was held Sunday at the FSU Film School Soundstages located on Champions Way to watch the ceremony.

Another film with FSU ties that won an Oscar is “Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio” for Best Animated Film, which had 1997 alumnus Marc Ostroff on board as its finance executive and 2004 alumna Sara Bennett Crowley as the producing manager.

Both Ostroff and Crowley graduated from the university with their bachelor’s degrees in fine arts.

Although the film “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” — which FSU 1993 graduate Brendan Murphy contributed to as its associate production manager — was nominated for the Best Animated Film award along with “Pinocchio,” it did not win but still holds the title of being one of the five 2022 films that were nominated for the Oscar category.
